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!
Richard BachPart One: I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy. Part Two: Everybody else is free to do whatever they feel like doing, for a living. Part Three: 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.
Richard BachWe think, sometimes, thereโs not a dragon left. Not one brave knight, not a single princess gliding through secret forests... What a pleasure to be wrong. Princesses, knights, enchantments and dragons, mystery and adventure... not only are they here-and-now, theyโre all that ever lived on earth!
Richard BachYou will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isnโt flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesnโt have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.
