Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Eternally, woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace, to let the pitcher fill up to the brim.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
there is no sin punished more implacably by nature than the sin of resistance to change.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Can you write a book and have children at the same time? Yes, if you're content to do it very very slowly.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
