For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Fame is a kind of death because it arrests life around the person in the public eye.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.

Image
Communication with another person -- wasn't it the realest thing in life?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
It is not restful, it is not possible to talk wholeheartedly to more than one person at a time. You can't really talk with a person unless you surrender to them, for the moment (all other talk is futile). You can't surrender to more than one person a moment.

Image
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
Image
... once you get beyond the crust of the first pang it is all the same and you can easily bear it. It is just the transition from painlessness to pain that is so terrible.

Image
I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
there is no aristocracy of grief. Grief is a great leveler.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Nothing feeds the center of being so much as creative work. The curtain of mechanization has come down between the mind and the hand.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
The best marriages, like the best lives, were both happy and unhappy. There was even a kind of necessary tension, a certain tautness between the partners that gave the marriage strength, like the tautness of a full sail. You went forward on it.

Image
Frenchwomen just never look ungroomed, do they?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
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
Image
The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere. That is why so much of social life is exhausting one is wearing a mask. I have shed my mask.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
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.

Image
Forsythia is pure joy. There is not an ounce, not a glimmer of sadness or even knowledge in forsythia. Pure, undiluted, untouched joy.
