The ball of rumor and criticism, once it starts rolling, is difficult to stop.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
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.

Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
One learns to accept the fact that no permanent return is possible to an old form of relationship and, more deeply still, that there is no holding of a relationship to a single form. This is not tragedy but part of the ever-recurrent miracle of life and growth.

Flowers always have it - poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection . . .
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others, I am beginning to discover. And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
And one perfect day can give clues for a more perfect life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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.

Image
In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
Love is a force. . . . It is not a result it is a cause. It is not a product. It is a power, like money, or steam or electricity. It is valueless unless you can give something else by means of it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Image
People don't want to be understood - I mean not completely. It's too destructive. Then they haven't anything left. They don't want complete sympathy or complete understanding. They want to be treated carelessly and taken for granted lots of times.
