Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Beauty cannot disguise nor music melt A pain undiagnosable but felt.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One can get just as much exultation in losing oneself in a little thing as in a big thing. It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a daisy.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
There is no harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The shape of my life is, of course, determined by many things my background and childhood, my mind and its education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The web of marriage is made by propinquity, in the day to day living side by side, looking outward in the same direction. It is woven in space and in time of the substance of life itself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
