More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I sometimes think that perhaps our minds are too weak to grasp joy or sorrow except in small things...In the big things joy and sorrow are just alike - overwhelming. At least, we only get them bit by bit, in tiny flashes - in waves - that our minds can't stand for very long. p 199
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One can get just as much exultation in losing oneself in a little thing as in a big thing. It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a daisy.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One must lose one's life to find it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The shape of my life is, of course, determined by many things my background and childhood, my mind and its education, my conscience and its pressures, my heart and its desires.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We must relearn to be alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am most anxious to give my own children enough love and understanding so that they won't grow up with an aching void in them--like you and I and Harold and Martha. That can never be filled, and one goes around all one's life trying, trying to make up for what one didn't get that was one's birthright, asking the wrong people for it.

Flowers always have it - poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection . . .
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
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
people talk about 'sex' as though it hopped about by itself, like a frog!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One learns first of all in beach living the art of shedding how little one can get along with, not how much.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is nice to think how one can be recklessly lost in a daisy!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Certain environments, certain modes of life, and certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner and outer harmony than others. There are, in fact, certain roads that one may follow. Simplification is one of them.
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The web of marriage is made by propinquity, in the day to day living side by side, looking outward in the same direction. It is woven in space and in time of the substance of life itself.
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.
