More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
One must lose one's life to find it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I want to be pure in heart -- but I like to wear my purple dress.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
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 happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Cut asparagus at night - in desperation. When one is very tired one always does one more thing.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.
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
Love is a force.... It is not a result it is a cause. It is not a product it produces.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Who is not afraid of pure space - that breathtaking empty space of an open door?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman can best refind herself by losing herself in some kind of creative activity of her own.
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
It is only in solitude that I ever find my own core.
