141 " But one creature said at last, "I am tired of clinging. Though I cannot see it with my eyes, I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom. "
― Richard Bach , Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
142 " You gave your life to become the person you are right now Was it worth it? "
― Richard Bach , Messiah's Handbook: Reminders for the Advanced Soul
143 " Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect. "
― Richard Bach , Jonathan Livingston Seagull
144 " Win by losing. Before your outer walls break, as break they must, build an inner place to protect your truth. Protect that you are infinite life, choosing its playground; protect that the world you know exists with your consent and for your own good reasons; protect that your purpose and mission is to shine love in your own playful way, in the moments you decide will be most dramatic. "
― Richard Bach , Running from Safety: An Adventure of the Spirit
145 " Only a few people are interested in what you have to say, but that's all right. You don't tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds, remember. "
146 " Two thousand years ago, five thousand, they didn't have a word for imagination, and faith was the best they could come up with for a pretty solemn bunch of followers. "
147 " If we don't accept any common beliefs, we can't exist in spacetime. But when we don't believe in age, at least we don't have to die because our numbers change. [...] When you don't believe in birthdays, the idea of aging turns a little foreign to you. You don't fall into trauma over your sixteenth birthday or your thirtieth or the big Five-Oh or the deadly Century. You measure your life by what you learn, not by counting how many calendars you've seen. If you're going to have trauma, better it be the shock of discovering the fundamental principle of the universe that some date predictable as next July. "
148 " It’s okay is a cosmic truth…It’s okay. If there were nothing here for us to learn, we wouldn’t bother to pay the fare. "
149 " I have a way of finding what is true for me, and it’s not finished yet. "
150 " We are each given a block of marble when we begin a lifetime, and the tools to shape it into sculpture. We can drag it behind us untouched, we can pound it to gravel, we can shape it into glory. Examples from every other life are left for us to see, lifeworks finished and unfinished, guiding and warning. Near the end our sculpture is nearly finished, and we can smooth and polish what we started years before. We can make our progress then, but to do it we must see past the appearances of age. "
― Richard Bach , One
151 " Le paradis, c'est simplement d'être soi-même parfait. "
152 " If our body is a perfect expression of our thought about body, and if our thought about body is that it’s condition has everything to do with inner image and nothing to do with time, then we don’t have to be impatient for being too young or frightened of being too old. "
153 " Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in awhile and watch your answers change. "
154 " The only law is one which leads to freedom "
155 " How is it we’re the lucky ones, living a life that the children-we-were took for dreams? "
156 " Keep working on love. "
157 " And like no other sculpture in the history of art, the dead engine and dead airframe come to life at the touch of a human hand, and join their life with the pilot's own. "
― Richard Bach , A Gift Of Wings
158 " Never had I understood that I command, with absolute authority, the ship of my life! I decide its mission and rules and discipline, at my word waits every tool and sail, every cannon, the strength of every soul on board. I’m master of a team of passionate skills to sail me through hell’s own jaws the second I nod the direction to steer. "
159 " Anybody who’s ever mattered, anybody who’s ever been happy, anybody who’s ever given any gift into the world has been a divinely selfish soul, living for his own best interest. No exceptions. "
160 " Rompe las cadenas de tu pensamiento, y romperás también las cadenas de tu cuerpo "
