Anne Morrow Lindbergh
My Life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
... once you get beyond the crust of the first pang it is all the same and you can easily bear it. It is just the transition from painlessness to pain that is so terrible.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
There is no harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
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
Yesterday's fairy tale is today's fact. The magician is only one step ahead of his audience.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am beginning to respect the apathetic days. Perhaps they're a necessary pause: better to give in to them than to fight them at your desk hopelessly then you lose both the day and your self-respect. Treat them as physical phenomena -- casually -- and obey them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The world has been forced to its knees. Unhappily, we seldom find our way there without being beaten to it by suffering.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps middle-age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.
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
When the heart is flooded with love there is no room in it for fear, for doubt, for hesitation.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One must lose one's life to find it.
