Richard Bach Zitate

seite 4

„Sei nicht bestürzt über den Abschied. Ein Abschied ist notwendig, bevor Sie sich wieder sehen können. Und ein Wiedersehen, nach Momenten oder Leben, ist für diejenigen, die Freunde sind, sicher.“

„Können Meilen dich wirklich von Freunden trennen? Wenn du mit jemandem zusammen sein willst, den du liebst, bist du nicht schon da?“

„Man bekommt niemals einen Traum, ohne auch die Kraft zu haben, ihn wahr werden zu lassen.“

„Ihre Freunde werden Sie in der ersten Minute, in der Sie sich treffen, besser kennen als Ihre Bekannten Sie in tausend Jahren.“

„Glaub nicht, was deine Augen dir sagen. Alles, was sie zeigen, ist Begrenztheit. Schau mit deinem Verständnis. Finde heraus, was du schon weißt, und du wirst den Weg zu fliegen sehen.“

„Ich bin hier, nicht weil ich hier sein soll oder weil ich hier gefangen bin, sondern weil ich lieber bei dir sein möchte als irgendwo sonst auf der Welt.“

„Alle Ziffern sind Begrenzungen, Vollkommenheit aber ist grenzlos.“

„Die einzige Verpflichtung, die wir in jedem Lebensabschnitt haben, ist, uns selbst treu zu bleiben.“

“Do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the Flock? A thousand lives, Jon, ten thousand!”

“It’s not when you start that makes your success in the world, but when you quit.”

“The original sin is to limit the Is.”

“There are grand rewards for those who pick the high hard roads, but those rewards are hidden by years.”

“You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.”

“How much to learn if we could spend one hour, spend twenty minutes, with the us we will become! How much could we say to the us we were.”

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

“If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.”

“Know that ever about you stands the reality of love, and each moment you have the power to transform your world by what you have learned.”

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

“A moment later Jonathan’s body wavered in the air, shimmering, and began to go transparent. “Don’t let them spread silly rumors about me, or make me a god. O. K., Fletch? I’m a seagull. I like to fly, maybe…”

“One challenge of our adventure on earth is to rise above dead systems… wars, nations, destructions… to refuse to be a part of them, and express the highest selves we know how to be.”

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

“Whatever enchants also guides and protects.”

“What matters is how I use what I know, every minute of every day; how I use it to remember, in the midst of the game.”

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

“We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and LOVE!”

“Like everything else, Fletcher. Practice.”

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

“Passionately obsessed by anything we love--an avalanche of magic flattens the way ahead, levels, rules, reasons, dissents, bears us with it over chasms, fears, doubts. Without the power of that love….”

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding.”

“Why had such a promising world been crucified on the tree of obligation, thorned by duties, hanged by hypocrisy, smothered by customs?”

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

“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?”

“Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know.”

“If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.”

“Anything we need to know, we can learn it from a book. Reading, careful study, a little practice, and we’re throwing knives expertly, overhauling engines, speaking Esperanto like natives.”

“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….”

“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.”
