“His sorrow was not solitude, it was that other gulls refused to believe the glory of flight that awaited them; they refused to open their eyes and see.”
“We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill.
We can be free! We can learn to fly!”
"Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding"
Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach

As always, I'd love to, unfortunately no pass for a Sunday night.
I never had you down as a 1970s hippy, my wife loved that book.

I have just read his Wikipedia page. I never realised he was a fighter pilot.
I love the end bit, he wrote about it, but wasn't very good at it....
In 1981, Bach married actress Leslie Parrish, whom he met during the making of the film Jonathan Livingston Seagull. She featured significantly in two of his subsequent books: The Bridge Across Forever and One, which primarily focused on their relationship and Bach's concept of soulmates. They divorced in 1999.[14]
Bach married his third wife, Sabryna Nelson-Alexopoulos, in April 1999. They divorced on April 1, 2011.[1]
I think he was on DCS too much!
