I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Why is life speeded up so? Why are things so terribly, unbearably precious that you can't enjoy them but can only wait breathless in dread of their going?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I can conceive of 'falling in love' over and over again. But 'marriage,' this richness of life itself, I cannot conceive of having again - or with anyone else. In this sense 'marriage' seems to me indissoluble.

Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. In love-ness is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about happy and unhappy marriages.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If one talks to more than four people, it is an audience and one cannot really think or exchange thoughts with an audience.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The present is passed over in the race for the future the here is neglected in favor of the there. Enjoy the moment, even if it means merely a walk in the country.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Lost time is like a run in a stocking. It always gets worse.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one's own core is.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
the final lesson of learning to be independent - widowhood ... is the hardest lesson of all.
