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
The beach is not the place to work to read, write or think.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Can one make the future a substitute for the present? And what guarantee have we that the future will be any better if we neglect the present?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of children the running of a house with its thousand details human relationships with their myriad pulls - women's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life.
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
For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
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
