More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Travel Far, Pay No Fare... a book can take you anywhere.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Total freedom is never what one imagines and, in fact, hardly exists. It comes as a shock in life to learn that we usually only exchange one set of restrictions for another. The second set, however, is self-chosen, and therefore easier to accept.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
So many things we love are you!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
...the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom. The only real security is... living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
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
Nothing feeds the center of being so much as creative work. The curtain of mechanization has come down between the mind and the hand.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is a difficult lesson to learn today-to leave one's friends and family and deliberately practice the art of solitude for an hour or a day or a week. And yet, once it is done, I find there is a quality to being alone that is incredibly precious. Life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid, fuller than before.
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
If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We are always bargaining with our feelings so that we can live from day to day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
people talk about 'sex' as though it hopped about by itself, like a frog!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
This is what one thirsts for, I realize, after the smallness of the day, of work, of details, of intimacy - even of communication, one thirsts for the magnitude and universality of a night full of stars, pouring into one like a fresh tide.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Who is not afraid of pure space - that breathtaking empty space of an open door?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Flying was a very tangible freedom. In those days, it was beauty, adventure, discovery - the epitome of breaking into new worlds.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The collector walks with blinders on he sees nothing but the prize. In fact, the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with true appreciation of beauty.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
After all, I don't see why I am always asking for private, individual, selfish miracles when every year there are miracles like white dogwood.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
