How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And one perfect day can give clues for a more perfect life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
It's funny how you can be mad at someone one moment and want to hug them the next.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Go for a short walk in a soft rain - lovely - so many wild flowers startling me through the woods and a lawn sprinkled with dandelions, like a night with stars. And through it all the sound of soft rain like the sound of innumerable earthworms stirring in the ground.
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 think one must do the thing -- whatever it is (and it changes from time to time) -- that unites you to the flowing stream of the world. At any price, one must do it first. Otherwise one can do nothing, nothing at all. One is out of touch, out of grace.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We walk up the beach under the stars. And when we are tired of walking, we lie flat on the sand under a bowl of stars. We feel stretched, expanded to take in their compass. They pour into us until we are filled with stars, up to the brim.
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
So many things we love are you!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Failures aren't failures if you learn something from them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The most exhausting thing you can do is to be inauthentic.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
there is no sin punished more implacably by nature than the sin of resistance to change.
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
I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.
