“Vive de tal manera que nunca te averguences si se
divulga por todo el mundo lo que haces o dices -- aunque lo que se divulgue no
sea cierto.”
“Live
never to be ashamed if anything you do or say is published around the world --
even if what is published is not true.”

Richard David Bach (born June 23, 1936) is an American writer. He is widely known as the
author of the hugely popular 1970s best-sellers Jonathan Livingston Seagull and
Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, among others. Bach's books
espouse his philosophy that our apparent physical limits and mortality are
merely appearance. He claims to be a direct descendant of Johann Sebastian
Bach. Bach is noted for his love of flying and for his books related to air
flight and flying in a metaphorical context. He has pursued flying as a hobby
since the age of 17. In late August 2012 Bach was badly injured when on
approach to landing at Friday Harbor his aircraft clipped some power lines and
crashed upside down in a field.
