More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us - many days, many nights of stars.
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.

What a crippling art writing is, no body to it, no craft, really. It's all in the mind and you never see it or feel it -- only sometimes hear it. It uses only such a small part of man. I wish I were a sculptor.
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
If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others.
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
For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It isn't for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for that long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
