Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Don't wish me happiness - I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor - I will need them all.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The world has been forced to its knees. Unhappily, we seldom find our way there without being beaten to it by suffering.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
