More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
people talk about 'sex' as though it hopped about by itself, like a frog!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
My father taught me that a bill is like a crying baby and has to be attended to at once.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For in our family an experience was not finished, not truly experienced, unless written down or shared with another.

I can conceive of 'falling in love' over and over again. But 'marriage,' this richness of life itself, I cannot conceive of having again - or with anyone else. In this sense 'marriage' seems to me indissoluble.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
the final lesson of learning to be independent - widowhood ... is the hardest lesson of all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For relationships, too, must be like islands. One must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands surrounded and interrupted by the sea, continuously visited and abandoned by the tides. One must accept the serenity of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
the issue of war or peace is an issue that concerns not only experts on Foreign Affairs but every citizen of the United States.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
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
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms.
