Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
So many things we love are you!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
There is no harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
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
The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Yesterday's fairy tale is today's fact. The magician is only one step ahead of his audience.
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
Certain springs are tapped only when you're alone.
