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
Why is it that you can sometimes feel the reality of people more keenly through a letter than face to face?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To be deeply in love is, of course, a great liberating force.

The ball of rumor and criticism, once it starts rolling, is difficult to stop.
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
