More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Everything today has been heavy and brown. Bring me a Unicorn to ride about the town.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
...the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom. The only real security is... living in the present and accepting it as it is now.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I sometimes think that perhaps our minds are too weak to grasp joy or sorrow except in small things...In the big things joy and sorrow are just alike - overwhelming. At least, we only get them bit by bit, in tiny flashes - in waves - that our minds can't stand for very long. p 199
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People don't want to be understood - I mean not completely. It's too destructive. Then they haven't anything left. They don't want complete sympathy or complete understanding. They want to be treated carelessly and taken for granted lots of times.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A note of music gains significance from the silence on either side.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
