Quote by Richard Bach

“Ο βράζος ήταν γι' αυτό σαν μια πελώρια σκληρή πόρτα που άνοιγε σ' έναν άλλο κόσμο. Μια έκρηξη φόβου, πόνου και σκοτεινιάς τη στιγμή της πρόσκρουσης κι ύστερα βρέθηκε να πλανιέται σκυβέρνητος σ' έναν άγνωστο, παράξενο ουρανό, να ξεχνάει, να θυμάται και πάλι να ξεχνάει. Φοβισμένος, θλιμμένος και μετανιωμένος, φοβερά μετανιωμένος.”

JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL

The narrative follows Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a bird who becomes disillusioned with the daily struggle for food and the conformity of his flock. He dedicates himself to perfecting the art of flying, pushing the limits of speed and agility. His passion leads to exile, but he continues his journey of learning and teaching, encountering other outcasts and a higher plane of existence. The story is a metaphorical exploration of personal growth, the pursuit of excellence, and the transcendence of conventional limitations. more

“When you died, you died in small doses. You had trouble speaking. You forgot who was beside you. You were suddenly furious and in a panic of outrage. You wished you could be saintly. You wished you weren't so weak. You suddenly felt better and fooled yourself into believing that a miracle was about to happen. Well, wasn't that all a dirty rotten thing to pull on somebody.”

“How are you? I'm shattered, thanks, how are you? I walk aimlessly through the rooms of my house, what have you been up to? I have woken up in the middle of the last 240 nights in a heart-pounding sweat, what's new with you? I sometimes wish I would never wake up, have you been on vacation this year? I ache for the arms of my sweetheart to hold me tight, how's your family? I feel barren and useless and creepy and mundane, seen any good movies lately? I'm terrified that I'll feel this way forever, I like that sweater you're wearing. I keep seeing his body on the hospital gurney, don't you love this weather. My broken heart is in my throat, let's do lunch. I'm so completely and utterly tired of being sad, thanks, how are you?”

“So much of life’s hardship becomes more bearable when you are able to build and lean on a network of loyalty, support, and love, and gather around you people...who will stand by you and help you. But the thing is you have to let them in; you have to let them see the heartache, pain, and vulnerability, and not cloak those things in a shameful darkness, and then you have to let those people who care about you help you.”

“I love you. I want to know what you are going through, if not now, then some day I want to sit with you and hear it. My imagination is not big enough to comprehend the emotions you are having. How small and insignificant all of this worldly stuff must seem to you. Can you talk? You must miss him intensely. You must think about him in every moment. Which is harder for you, being alone or being in the world of people? Life must feel surreal to you.”
