More quotes by 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
Certain springs are tapped only when you're alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
It is only framed in space that beauty blooms only in space are events, and objects and people unique and significant and therefore beautiful.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid each cycle of the wave is valid each cycle of a relationship is valid.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Beauty cannot disguise nor music melt A pain undiagnosable but felt.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one's own core is.
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
Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It's like an amputation, I feel a limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done... life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before.
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
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
The beach is not the place to work to read, write or think.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Lost time is like a run in a stocking. It always gets worse.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
But I want first of all- in fact, as an end to these other desires- to be at peace with myself.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Cut asparagus at night - in desperation. When one is very tired one always does one more thing.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We tend not to choose the unknown, which might be a shock or a disappointment or simply a little difficult to cope with. An yet it is the unknown with all its disappointments and surprises that is the most enriching.
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
For relationships, too, must be like islands. One must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands surrounded and interrupted by the sea, continuously visited and abandoned by the tides. One must accept the serenity of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I find the weight of air/Almost too great to bear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If one is estranged from oneself, then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others.
