23rd June: Richard Bach's birthday

Author of Jonathon Livingstone Seagull, Richard Bach, was born on this date in 1936. Here are 10 things he said:


  1. Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
  2. You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.
  3. Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't.
  4. If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.
  5. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.
  6. Listen to what you know instead of what you fear.
  7. Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!
  8. The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
  9. In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.
  10. True love stories never have endings.
