More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Go with the pain, let it take you. Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like the tide and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out these obligations and activities as well as I can.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
No American can understand the need for time -- that is, simply space to breathe. If you have ten minutes to spare you should jam that full instead of leaving it -- as space around your next ten minutes. How can anything ripen without those 'empty' ten minutes?

It is only in solitude that I ever find my own core.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
the final lesson of learning to be independent - widowhood ... is the hardest lesson of all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
Woman must come of age by herself... She must find her true center alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
You can’t just write and write and put things in a drawer. They wither without the warm sun of someone else’s appreciation.
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!

... writing letters is thinking, just as talking to you is thinking.
