More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I think best with a pencil in my hand.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The best marriages, like the best lives, were both happy and unhappy. There was even a kind of necessary tension, a certain tautness between the partners that gave the marriage strength, like the tautness of a full sail. You went forward on it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It's like an amputation, I feel a limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done... life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Too many people, too many demands, too much to do competent, busy, hurrying people - It just isn't living at all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A note of music gains significance from the silence on either side.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Go with the pain, let it take you. Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like the tide and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps middle-age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And one perfect day can give clues for a more perfect life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
My father taught me that a bill is like a crying baby and has to be attended to at once.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Failures aren't failures if you learn something from them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One can never pay in gratitude one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one's own core is.
