Richard Bach

“¡Si nuestra amistad depende de cosas como el espacio y el tiempo, entonces, cuando por fin superemos el espacio y el tiempo, habremos destruido nuestra propia hermandad! Pero supera el espacio, y nos quedará sólo un Aquí. Supera el tiempo, y nos quedará sólo un Ahora. Y entre el Aquí y el Ahora, ¿no crees que podremos volver a vernos un par de veces?”

“No aprendas nada, y el próximo mundo será igual que éste, con las mismas limitaciones y pesos de plomo que superar”

“¿Tienes idea de cuántas vidas debimos cruzar antes de que lográramos la primera idea de que hay más en la vida que comer, luchar o alcanzar poder en la Bandada? ¡Mil vidas, Juan, diez mil! Y luego cien vidas más hasta que empezáramos a aprender que hay algo llamado perfección, y otras cien para comprender que la meta de la vida es encontrar esa perfección y reflejarla.”

“Everybody is given a Dream... you may have to work for it however...”

“Why, Jon, why?" his mother asked. "Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can't you leave low flying to the pelicans, the alhatross? Why don't you eat? Son, you're bone and feathers!" "I don't mind being bone and feathers mom. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can't, that's all. I just want to know.”

“Vardığın yer orası değil. Onun çok ötesindesin. Ama geldiğinde inandığın yer orası ve bunda sakınca yok. Seni doğru okuyorum değil mi, sevgili ölümlü? Her zaman içinde bulunan, sana uçma fantezini yaşatan şu mavi tüylü kanatların sahibi olduğunun farkına yeni vardın. Bir mil yüksekliğindeki bir uçurumun kenarında duruyorsun, güven duyarak öne doğru eğiliyorsun, kanatlar açılıyor, denge durumundan çıkarken o konuma havada geleceğini umuyorsun. Öyle mi?”

“The more I want to get something done the less I call it work.”

“Nothing good is a miracle, nothing lovely is a dream.”

“Moćna ideja je apsolutno fantastična i potpuno beskorisna ako ne odlučimo da je ostvarimo”

“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?”

“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.”

“Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.”

“The opposite of Loneliness is not Togetherness , It's Intimacy”

“It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea.”

“the Original Sin is to limit the ''is'':Don't”

“Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.”

“Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives.”

“Raj nije ni mesto ni vreme. Raj je savršenstvo.""Da bi odleteo bilo gde brzinom misli, moraš da zamisliš da si tamo već stigao...""DA, ŽELIM DA LETIM.""Kada bi naše prijateljstvo zavisilo od vremena i prostora, onda bi ga, kad pobedimo vreme i prostor, uništili! Ako pobedimo prostor, ostaje nam samo OVDE. Ako pobedimo vreme, ostaje nam samo SADA. Zar ne misliš da cemo se na tom putu, između sada i ovde, ipak sresti s vremena na vreme?""Ne gledaj svojim očima. Njihove mogućnosti su ograničene. Gledaj razumom. Ispitaj ono što već znaš i onda ćeš shvatiti kako se leti.”

“Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.”

“Get this in mind early: We never grow up.”

“There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.”

“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.”

“It's like, at the end, there's this surprise quiz: Am I proud of me? I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth what I paid?”

“Every gift from a friend is a wish for your happiness.”

“Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there's reason to live!We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can learn to be free! we can learn to fly!”

“It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it, that you might somehow be happy. Until you can make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost....”

“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.”

“don't you think between here and now we will see each other once or twice?”

“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way".”

“All the people, all the events in your life are put there for a reason. What you choose to do with them is up to you”

“Real love stories never have endings.”

“Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. Heaven is being perfect. -And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.”

“Fletcher Lynd Seagull was still quite young, but already he knew that no bird had ever been so harshly treated by any Flock, or with so much injustice.”

“Live never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world -- even if what is published is not true.”

“Heaven is not a place, and it's not a time. Heaven is being perfect.”

“Le paradis, c'est simplement d'être soi-même parfait.”

“You teach best what you most need to learn”

“Колкото по-просветлени ставаме,толкова ни е по-трудно да намерим хора,които да ни разбират.Колкото повече познания постигаме,толкова по-вероятно е да живеем сами.”(Мост през вечността)ri”

“He spoke of very simple things- that it is right for a gull to fly, that freedom is the very nature of his being, that whatever stands against that freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form. "Set aside," came a voice from the multitude, "even if it be the Law of the Flock?""The only true law is that which leads to freedom," Jonathan said. "There is no other.”

“Your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip," Jonathan would say, other times, "is nothing more than your thought itself, in a form you can see. Break the chains of your thought, and you break the chains of your body, too.”

“We can start working with time, if you wish, till you can fly the past and the future. And then you will be ready to begin the most difficult, the most powerful, the most fun of all. You will be ready to BEGIN to fly up and know the meaning of kindness and of love”

“Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness.Listen to it carefully.”

“The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've gotresponsibilities.”

“Having made the decision to love, had I chosen life instead of death?”

“For most gulls it was not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.”

“How easy it is to be compassionate when it's yourself you see in trouble.”

“We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.”

“Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight - how to get from shore to food and back again”

“The gull sees farthest who flies highest”

“You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.”
