Quote

And if flying, like a glass-bottomed bucket, can give you that vision, that seeing eye, which peers down on the still world below the choppy waves - it will always remain magic.

Image
Total freedom is never what one imagines and, in fact, hardly exists. It comes as a shock in life to learn that we usually only exchange one set of restrictions for another. The second set, however, is self-chosen, and therefore easier to accept.

Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.

What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.

Image
The web of marriage is made by propinquity, in the day to day living side by side, looking outward in the same direction. It is woven in space and in time of the substance of life itself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
A note of music gains significance from the silence on either side.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.

The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

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

We must relearn to be alone.
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
Image
It is a difficult lesson to learn today-to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before.

When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
