Quote

When each partner loves so completely that he has forgotten to ask himself whether or not he is loved in return when he only knows that he loves and is moving to its music--then, and then only are two people able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.

Image
We walk up the beach under the stars. And when we are tired of walking, we lie flat on the sand under a bowl of stars. We feel stretched, expanded to take in their compass. They pour into us until we are filled with stars, up to the brim.

Image
To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Not knowing how to feed the spirit, we try to muffle its demands in distraction...What matters is that one be for a time inwardly attentive.

Image
When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach, the clock no longer ticks, it tolls the hour. The figures in the aisle are no longer individuals, they symbolize the human race.

Image
I think one must do the thing -- whatever it is (and it changes from time to time) -- that unites you to the flowing stream of the world. At any price, one must do it first. Otherwise one can do nothing, nothing at all. One is out of touch, out of grace.

It is not restful, it is not possible to talk wholeheartedly to more than one person at a time. You can't really talk with a person unless you surrender to them, for the moment (all other talk is futile). You can't surrender to more than one person a moment.

Image
It isn't for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for that long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security.

people talk about 'sex' as though it hopped about by itself, like a frog!
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.

Frenchwomen just never look ungroomed, do they?

Image
Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Image
... 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
Image
The ball of rumor and criticism, once it starts rolling, is difficult to stop.

Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid each cycle of the wave is valid each cycle of a relationship is valid.

Image
Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.

Image
But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others, I am beginning to discover. And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude.

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.

When you love someone you do not love them, all the time, in the exact same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships.
