More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps both men and women in America may hunger, in our material, outward, active, masculine culture, for the supposedly feminine qualities of heart, mind and spirit — qualities which are actually neither masculine nor feminine, but simply human qualities that have been neglected.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We must relearn to be alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
There is no harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.

When I cannot write a poem, I bake biscuits and feel just as pleased.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To mention a loved object, a person, or a place to someone else is to invest that object with reality.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The present is passed over in the race for the future the here is neglected in favor of the there. Enjoy the moment, even if it means merely a walk in the country.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Why is life speeded up so? Why are things so terribly, unbearably precious that you can't enjoy them but can only wait breathless in dread of their going?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People talk about love as though it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers. And a lot of people give love like that -- just dump it down on top of you, a useless strong-scented burden.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I think best with a pencil in my hand.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And one perfect day can give clues for a more perfect life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.
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
