Anne Morrow Lindbergh
the final lesson of learning to be independent - widowhood ... is the hardest lesson of all.
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
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

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
