Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of time and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity when the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It's like an amputation, I feel a limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done... life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If one talks to more than four people, it is an audience and one cannot really think or exchange thoughts with an audience.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If it is a woman's function to give, she must be replenished, too.
