More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Geniuses were like storms or cyclones, pulling everything into their path, sticks and stones and dust.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Cut asparagus at night - in desperation. When one is very tired one always does one more thing.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If it is a woman's function to give, she must be replenished, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere. That is why so much of social life is exhausting one is wearing a mask. I have shed my mask.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When each partner loves so completely that he has forgotten to ask himself whether or not he is loved in return when he only knows that he loves and is moving to its music--then, and then only are two people able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid each cycle of the wave is valid each cycle of a relationship is valid.

What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is only framed in space that beauty blooms only in space are events, and objects and people unique and significant and therefore beautiful.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Is there anything as horrible as starting on a trip? Once you're off, that's all right, but the last moments are earthquake and convulsion, and the feeling that you are a snail being pulled off your rock.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One can never pay in gratitude one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.
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
Woman must be the pioneer in this turning inward for strength. In a sense, she has always been the pioneer.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is a difficult lesson to learn today-to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Lost time is like a run in a stocking. It always gets worse.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For it is not merely the trivial which clutters our lives but the important as well
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The world has different owners at sunrise... Even your own garden does not belong to you. Rabbits and blackbirds have the lawns a tortoise-shell cat who never appears in daytime patrols the brick walls, and a golden-tailed pheasant glints his way through the iris spears.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Forsythia is pure joy. There is not an ounce, not a glimmer of sadness or even knowledge in forsythia. Pure, undiluted, untouched joy.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Can you write a book and have children at the same time? Yes, if you're content to do it very very slowly.
