More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Why do progress and beauty have to be so opposed?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am most anxious to give my own children enough love and understanding so that they won't grow up with an aching void in them--like you and I and Harold and Martha. That can never be filled, and one goes around all one's life trying, trying to make up for what one didn't get that was one's birthright, asking the wrong people for it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only when a tree has fallen can you take the measure of it. It is the same with a man.
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
I am beginning to respect the apathetic days. Perhaps they're a necessary pause: better to give in to them than to fight them at your desk hopelessly then you lose both the day and your self-respect. Treat them as physical phenomena -- casually -- and obey them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach. One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Too many people, too many demands, too much to do competent, busy, hurrying people - It just isn't living at all.
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
Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps both men and women in America may hunger, in our material, outward, active, masculine culture, for the supposedly feminine qualities of heart, mind and spirit — qualities which are actually neither masculine nor feminine, but simply human qualities that have been neglected.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem or saying a prayer.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
# I saw the most beautiful cat today. It was sitting by the side of the road, its two front feet neatly and graciously together. Then it gravely swished around its tail to completely encircle itself. It was so fit and beautifully neat, that gesture, and so self-satisfied, so complacent.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Forsythia is pure joy. There is not an ounce, not a glimmer of sadness or even knowledge in forsythia. Pure, undiluted, untouched joy.
