Anne Morrow Lindbergh
God often used bitter experiences to make us better. Gold can be a helpful servant, but a cruel master.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.

Why do progress and beauty have to be so opposed?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Yesterday I sat in a field of violets for a long time perfectly still, until I really sank into it - into the rhythm of the place, I mean - then when I got up to go home I couldn't walk quickly or evenly because I was still in time with the field.

Go for a short walk in a soft rain - lovely - so many wild flowers startling me through the woods and a lawn sprinkled with dandelions, like a night with stars. And through it all the sound of soft rain like the sound of innumerable earthworms stirring in the ground.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

... writing letters is thinking, just as talking to you is thinking.
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
I believe that true identity is found . . . in creative activity springing from within. It is found, paradoxically, when one loses oneself. Woman can best refind herself in some kind of creative activity of her own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
... the most ordinary everyday living is as delicate, as breath-taking, as difficult, takes as terrific physical and mental control and effort, as walking a tightrope.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To mention a loved object, a person, or a place to someone else is to invest that object with reality.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
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
Perhaps both men and women in America may hunger, in our material, outward, active, masculine culture, for the supposedly feminine qualities of heart, mind and spirit — qualities which are actually neither masculine nor feminine, but simply human qualities that have been neglected.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Rivers perhaps are the only physical features of the world that are at their best from the air.
