More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Fame is a kind of death because it arrests life around the person in the public eye.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The only real security is not in owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was, nor forward to what it might be, but living in the present and accepting it as it is now.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Flowers always have it - poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection . . .
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Why is it that you can sometimes feel the reality of people more keenly through a letter than face to face?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For the most part, we, who could choose simplicity, choose complication.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
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
Why do progress and beauty have to be so opposed?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach, the clock no longer ticks, it tolls the hour. The figures in the aisle are no longer individuals, they symbolize the human race.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The nice thing about really intelligent people is that when you talk with them they make you feel intelligent too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Fame separates you from life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We walk up the beach under the stars. And when we are tired of walking, we lie flat on the sand under a bowl of stars. We feel stretched, expanded to take in their compass. They pour into us until we are filled with stars, up to the brim.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The plane seems exultant now, even arrogant. We did it, we did it! We're up, above you. We were dependant on you just now, prisoners fawning on you for favors, for wind and light. But now, we are free. We are up! We are off! Like someone singing ecstatically, climbing, soaring- a sustained note of power and joy.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Purposeful giving is not as apt to deplete one's resources it belongs to that natural order of giving that seems to renew itself even in the act of depletion.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
there is no aristocracy of grief. Grief is a great leveler.
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
Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
