Oh, Fletch, you don't love that! You don't love hatred and evil,of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and help them to see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love. It's fun, when you get the knack of it.

About Richard Bach

Richard Bach (born 23 June 1936) is an American writer, widely known as the author of some of the 1970s' biggest sellers, including Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970) and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah (1977). Most of Bach's books have been semi-autobiographical, using actual or fictionalized events from his life to illustrate his philosophy, that our apparent physical limits and mortality are merely appearance.

Her zaman içinde bulunan, sana uçma fantezini yaşatan şu mavi tüylü kanatların sahibi olduğunun farkına yeni vardın. Bir mil yüksekliğindeki bir uçurumun kenarında duruyorsun, güven duyarak öne doğru eğiliyorsun, kanatlar açılıyor, denge durumundan çıkarken o konuma havada geleceğini umuyorsun. Öyle mi?

You're going to die a horrible death, remember. It's all good training, and you'll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind. Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less advanced lifeforms, and they'll call you crazy.
