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.

More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one's own core is.
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
If one talks to more than four people, it is an audience and one cannot really think or exchange thoughts with an audience.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I sometimes think that perhaps our minds are too weak to grasp joy or sorrow except in small things...In the big things joy and sorrow are just alike - overwhelming. At least, we only get them bit by bit, in tiny flashes - in waves - that our minds can't stand for very long. p 199
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One learns first of all in beach living the art of shedding how little one can get along with, not how much.
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
Rivers perhaps are the only physical features of the world that are at their best from the air.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When the heart is flooded with love there is no room in it for fear, for doubt, for hesitation.
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
What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
war is a thug's game. The thug strikes first and harder. He doesn't go by rules and he isn't afraid of hurting people.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am most anxious to give my own children enough love and understanding so that they won't grow up with an aching void in them--like you and I and Harold and Martha. That can never be filled, and one goes around all one's life trying, trying to make up for what one didn't get that was one's birthright, asking the wrong people for it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid each cycle of the wave is valid each cycle of a relationship is valid.
