“Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.”
― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

“The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got
responsibilities.”
― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

“Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain you don't have anything to learn from them.”
― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah

“Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place. You're going to die a horrible death, remember. It's all good training, and you'll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind. Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy.”
― Richard Bach, Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
