Richard Bach Quotes

There is nothing more beautiful than finding your course as you believe you bob aimlessly in the current. And wouldn't you know that your path was there all along, waiting for you to knock, waiting for you to become. This path does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers. Your path is your character defining itself more and more every day.

What I know for sure: Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.

Shri Krishna says: "Better die in your own path than attempt the path of another."

I want an identity outside of my work.

How you go about moving within the world you live in says so much about who you are.

You've got one life: find your voice within it.

Every person has his or her own journey.

It's like, you can know you want to live your life by being yourself, but how do you actually do that? That can be a whole lifelong journey.

My personal life, my musical life, my life as an artist - almost everything has pointed all these little arrows that make up which way I go as a person and what I feel comfortable as my identity.

Everybody needs to find their own path and the best way for themselves to connect to this world.

'Karwaan' was meant for me.

You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.

We all must follow a different path to let our light shine, and that's what makes us so unpredictable and unique.

Remember this always: The living of your own life writes the book of your most sacred truth, and offers evidence of it.

My life should be unique; it should be an alms, a battle, a conquest, a medicine.

When people say 'I want to be like you', I tell them if you want to be like me, then be yourself.

I've learned that all you can be in this world is you. No matter how much you mess with yourself, with surgery or you know, clothes or cut your hair differently or how much you wish and pray and dream that you're gonna wake up as someone else, it's never gonna happen. You have one life and one opportunity, and all you can be is the best you.

There is a certain way of being human that is my way. I am called upon to live my life in this way, and not in imitation of anyone else's life. But this notion gives a new importance to being true to myself. If I am not, I miss the point of my life; I miss what being human is for me.

I think people kind of come in who they are, and it sort of doesn't even matter who their parents are - it can affect you a little bit, and you can be guided and shaped.

Listen to your Own Heart Concerning the Path you Wish to Travel.

I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do. The best way for me to find myself as a person is to prove to myself that I am an actress.

I was born to stand out. I don't care whether or not people will find me attractive on screen. That's not why I became an actor. I know that more and more with each new role.

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. You must travel it by yourself. It is not far. It is within reach. Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know. Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.

I just try to be myself and not conform to something I'm not and just continue doing what I do. I just try not to think about the fact that I'm an inspiration for people.

Find your purpose, find your voice.
