More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman must come of age by herself... She must find her true center alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
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
My diaries were written primarily, I think, not to preserve the experience but to savor it, to make it even more real, more visible and palpable, than in actual life. For in our family an experience was not finished, not truly experienced, unless written down or shared with another.
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 harvest for the heart alone. The seed of love must be eternally re-sown.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
war is a thug's game. The thug strikes first and harder. He doesn't go by rules and he isn't afraid of hurting people.
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.

I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One can never pay in gratitude one can only pay 'in kind' somewhere else in life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of time and resist in terror its ebb. We are afraid it will never return. We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity when the only continuity possible in life, as in love, is in growth, in fluidity - in freedom.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
The best marriages, like the best lives, were both happy and unhappy. There was even a kind of necessary tension, a certain tautness between the partners that gave the marriage strength, like the tautness of a full sail. You went forward on it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Certain springs are tapped only when you're alone.
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 nice thing about really intelligent people is that when you talk with them they make you feel intelligent too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I find the weight of air/Almost too great to bear.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman'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
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Failures aren't failures if you learn something from them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
