I should like to be a full-time Mother and a full-time Artist and a full-time Wife-Companion and also a 'Charming Woman' on the side! And to be aware and record it all. I cannot do it all. Something must go - several things probably. The 'charming woman' first!

Too many people, too many demands, too much to do competent, busy, hurrying people - It just isn't living at all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
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
Image
And if flying, like a glass-bottomed bucket, can give you that vision, that seeing eye, which peers down on the still world below the choppy waves - it will always remain magic.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Certain environments, certain modes of life, and certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner and outer harmony than others. There are, in fact, certain roads that one may follow. Simplification is one of them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
I feel I should not be ... so at the mercy of people's regard. And yet - it is the artist's desire for communication too without the answering voice you get so numb you lose faith in your powers to communicate.

Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.
