People pretended that they were friends, when the fact was they were brought together by force of circumstances. The classroom or the club or the office created friendships. When the circumstances changed the relations too snapped.

~ RK Narayan, Bachelor of Arts

No one can explain the attraction between two human beings. It happens.

~ RK Narayan, Bachelor of Arts

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly.

~ Richard Bach, Illusions

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.

~ Richard Bach, Illusions

Of course I’m a fake! We’re all fakes on this whole world, we’re all pretending to be something that we’re not. We are not bodies walking around, we are not atoms and molecules, we are unkillable, undestroyable ideas of the Is, no matter how much we believe otherwise.

~ Richard Bach, Illusions

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there. If you want to be with what you’re magnetising, you have to put yourself in the picture too.

~ Richard Bach, Illusions

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

~ Richard Bach, Illusions
