Here are the quotes I like from the book Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach.

Jonathan Livingston seagull

Jonathan Livingston seagull

Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.

How much more there is now to living! Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there’s reason to life! 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!

Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that gull’s life is so short and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed.

It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of a gentle sea.
