When we put up with any situation we donโt have to put up with, itโs not because weโre dumb. We put up with it, because we want the lesson only that situation can teach, and we want it more than freedom myself.
Richard BachI've learned that it is what I do not know that I fear, and I strive, outwardly from pride, inwardly from the knowledge that the unknown is what will finally kill me, to know all there is to be known about my airplane. I will never die.
Richard BachFrom time to time it's fun to close our eyes, and in that dark say to ourselves, 'I am the sorcerer, and when I open my eyes I shall see a world that I have created, and for which I and only I am completely responsible.' Slowly then, eyelids open like curtains lifting stage-center. And sure enough, there's our world, just the way we've built it.
Richard BachWe can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
