"Arranging a bowl of flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like writing a poem, or saying a prayer." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh

OTHERS:
"A good relationship has a pattern like a dance and is built on some of the same rules. The partners do not need to hold on tightly, because they move confidently in the same pattern, intricate but gay and swift and free, like a country dance of Mozart's. To touch heavily would be to arrest the pattern and freeze the movement, to check the endlessly changing beauty of its unfolding. There is no place here for the possessive clutch, the clinging arm, the heavy hand; only the barest touch in passing. Now arm in arm, now face to face, now back to back; it does not matter which. Because they know they are partners moving to the same rhythm, creating a pattern together, and being invisibly nourished by it.” ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"A note of music gains significance from the silence on either side." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone" ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Don't wish me happiness-I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor-I will need them all." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Duration is not a test of truth or falsehood." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh on Falsehood
"For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into; daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Go with the pain, let it take you. . . . Open your palms and your body to the pain. It comes in waves like a tide, and you must be open as a vessel lying on the beach, letting it fill you up and then, retreating, leaving you empty and clear. . . . With a deep breath--it has to be as deep as the pain--one reaches a kind of inner freedom from pain, as though the pain were not yours, but your body's. The spirit lays the body on the altar." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Him that I love, I wish to be free -- even from me." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"I feel we are all islands - in a common sea." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"I have been overcome by the beauty and richness of our life together, those early mornings setting out, those evenings gleaming with rivers and lakes below us, still holding the last light." ~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
"If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"In the sheltered simplicity of the first days after a baby is born, one sees again the magical closed circle, the miraculous sense of two people existing only for each other." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. "In love-ness" is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about "happy" and "unhappy" marriages." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Men kick friendship around like a football but it doesn't seem to break. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"My passport photo is one of the most remarkable photographs I have ever seen - no retouching, no shadows, no flattery - just stark me" ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay in kind somewhere else in life." ~Anne Lindbergh
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach; one can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me." ~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
"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
"The loneliness you get by the sea is personal and alive. It doesn't subdue you and make you feel abject. It's stimulating loneliness." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"The most exhausting thing in life is insincerity." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"The only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity—in freedom, in the sense that the dancers are free, barely touching as they pass, but partners in the same pattern." ~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
"The present is passed over in the race for the future; the here is neglected in favor of the there. Enjoy the moment, even if it means merely a walk in the country." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"The wave of the future is coming and there is no fighting it." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"There are no signposts in the sky to show a man has passed that way before. There are no channels marked. The flier breaks each second into new uncharted seas." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"Those fields of daisies we landed on, and dusty fields and desert stretches. Memories of many skies and earths beneath us - many days, many nights of stars." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh
"When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others too." ~Anne Morrow Lindberg
