More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Can one make the future a substitute for the present? And what guarantee have we that the future will be any better if we neglect the present?
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
Woman must come of age by herself... She must find her true center alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman can best refind herself by losing herself in some kind of creative activity of her own.
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
Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Geniuses were like storms or cyclones, pulling everything into their path, sticks and stones and dust.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach, the clock no longer ticks, it tolls the hour. The figures in the aisle are no longer individuals, they symbolize the human race.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The nice thing about really intelligent people is that when you talk with them they make you feel intelligent too.
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.
