41 " The image is a dream. The beauty is real. "
― Richard Bach , Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
42 " We choose, ourselves, to be hurt or not to be hurt, no matter what. Us who decides. Nobody else. "
43 " Mine's a free life, but it does get lonely sometimes. "
44 " I wanted to say, for the love of God, if you want freedom, can't you see it's not anywhere outside of you? Say you have it, and you have it! Act as if it is your's, and it is! Richard, what is so damned hard about that? But they didn't hear, most of them. Miracles - like going to auto races to see the crashes, they came to see miracles. First it's frustrating and then after a while it just gets dull. I have no idea how the other messiahs could stand it "
45 " In order to live free and happily, you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice "
46 " Everything above may be wrong! "
47 " Are you telling me that even though it’s changing every second, the sky is always a perfect sky? "
48 " A person gets used to being alone, but break it just for a day and you have to get used to it again, all over from the beginning. "
49 " The image is a dream. The beauty is real. Can you see the difference? "
50 " The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, “I’ve got responsibilities. "
51 " Devi semplicemente essere quello che sei: calmo, limpido e luminoso. Automaticamente, mentre risplendiamo quali siamo, domandandoci ad ogni momento: è questo che voglio fare davvero?, e facendolo soltanto quando rispondiamo sì, automaticamente questo allontana coloro i quali non hanno niente da imparare da quello che siamo e attrae quelli che hanno da imparare e dai quali inoltre abbiamo da imparare. "
52 " Il legame che unisce la tua vera famiglia non è quello del sangue, ma quello del rispetto e della gioia. Di rado gli appartenenti a una famiglia crescono sotto lo stesso tetto. "
53 " Non esiste nulla che sia un problema senza un dono per te nelle mani. Tu cerchi problemi perché hai bisogno dei loro doni. "
54 " Il legame che unisce la tua vera famiglia non è quello del sangue, ma quello del rispetto e della gioia per le reciproche vite. Di rado gli appartenenti ad una famiglia crescono sotto lo stesso tetto. "
55 " You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them. You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. "
56 " Amazing. You were so attached to it, and it still disappeared for you."“Attached! I was whocking that cloud with everything I had! Fireballs, laser beams, vacuum cleaner a block high...”“Negative attachments, Richard. If you really want to remove a cloud from your life, you do not make a big production out of it, you just relax and remove it from your thinking. That’s all there is to it. "
57 " The world is a dream, you say, and it’s lovely, sometimes. Sunset. Clouds. Sky.”“No. The image is a dream. The beauty is real. Can you see the difference? "
58 " Learning/ is finding out/ what you already know./ Doing is demonstrating that/ you know it./ Teach is reminding others/ that they known just as well as you. Your only/ obligation in any life time/ is to be true to yourself. 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 a while, and/ watch your answers/ change. "
59 " Responsible is Able to Respond, able to answer for the way we choose to live. There's only one person we have to answer to, of course, and that is...?...ourselves. "
60 " Tikrąją tavo šeimą sieja ne kraujo ryšys, o pagarba ir džiaugsmas, kuriuos randate vienas kito gyvenime. Vienos šeimos nariai retai išauga po tuo pačiu stogu. "
