More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What a commentary on our civilization, when being alone is considered suspect when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it—like a secret vice!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
My passport photo is one of the most remarkable photographs I have ever seen- no retouching, no shadows, no flattery-just stark me.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
...the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom. The only real security is... living in the present and accepting it as it is now.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.
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

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When you love someone you do not love them, all the time, in the exact same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships.
