More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
...the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom. The only real security is... living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
God may want you to be the answer to your own prayer.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
These bright roofs, these steep towers, these jewel-lakes, these skeins of railroad line - all spoke to her and she answered. She was glad they were there. She belonged to them and they to her.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Geniuses were like storms or cyclones, pulling everything into their path, sticks and stones and dust.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

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

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
God often used bitter experiences to make us better. Gold can be a helpful servant, but a cruel master.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When each partner loves so completely that he has forgotten to ask himself whether or not he is loved in return when he only knows that he loves and is moving to its music--then, and then only are two people able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To me there is something completely and satisfyingly restful in that stretch of sea and sand, sea and sand and sky - complete peace, complete fulfillment.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I had the feeling . . . that my experience was very different from other people’s. (Are we all under this illusion?)
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When the heart is flooded with love there is no room in it for fear, for doubt, for hesitation.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Everything today has been heavy and brown. Bring me a Unicorn to ride about the town.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.
