More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Can you write a book and have children at the same time? Yes, if you're content to do it very very slowly.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
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
It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When you love someone you do not love them, all the time, in the exact same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Marriage should, I think, always be a little bit hard and new and strange. It should be breaking your shell and going into another world, and a bigger one.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman must be the pioneer in this turning inward for strength. In a sense, she has always been the pioneer.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
Why is life speeded up so? Why are things so terribly, unbearably precious that you can't enjoy them but can only wait breathless in dread of their going?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood.
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
My passport photo is one of the most remarkable photographs I have ever seen- no retouching, no shadows, no flattery-just stark me.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I do not like talking casually to people - it does not interest me - and most of them are unwilling to talk at all seriously.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is not restful, it is not possible to talk wholeheartedly to more than one person at a time. You can't really talk with a person unless you surrender to them, for the moment (all other talk is futile). You can't surrender to more than one person a moment.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.
