My Life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
There comes a moment when the things one has written, even a traveler's memories, stand up and demand a justification. They require an explanation. They query, 'Who am I? What is my name? Why am I here?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Who is not afraid of pure space - that breathtaking empty space of an open door?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We tend not to choose the unknown, which might be a shock or a disappointment or simply a little difficult to cope with. An yet it is the unknown with all its disappointments and surprises that is the most enriching.
