More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Flowers always have it - poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection . . .
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps middle-age is, or should be, a period of shedding shells the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What a commentary on our civilization, when being alone is considered suspect when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it—like a secret vice!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Rivers perhaps are the only physical features of the world that are at their best from the air.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am beginning to respect the apathetic days. Perhaps they're a necessary pause: better to give in to them than to fight them at your desk hopelessly then you lose both the day and your self-respect. Treat them as physical phenomena -- casually -- and obey them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
# I saw the most beautiful cat today. It was sitting by the side of the road, its two front feet neatly and graciously together. Then it gravely swished around its tail to completely encircle itself. It was so fit and beautifully neat, that gesture, and so self-satisfied, so complacent.
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
For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
And one perfect day can give clues for a more perfect life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
How one hates to think of oneself as alone. How one avoids it. It seems to imply rejection or unpopularity.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Go with the pain, let it take you. Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like the tide and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What a circus act we women perform every day of our lives. Look at us. We run a tightrope daily, balancing a pile of books on the head. Baby-carriage, parasol, kitchen chair, still under control. Steady now! This is not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Beauty cannot disguise nor music melt A pain undiagnosable but felt.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For is it not possible that middle age can be looked upon as a period of second flowering, second growth, even a kind of second adolescence? It is true that society in general does not help one accept this interpretation of the second half of life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
life itself is always pulling you away from the understanding of life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.
