When one is a stranger to one...

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 259 quotes

Perhaps both men and women in...

Perhaps both men and women in America may hunger, in our material, outward, active, masculine culture, for the supposedly feminine qualities of heart, mind and spirit — qualities which are actually neither masculine nor feminine, but simply human qualities that have been neglected.

Women need solitude in order ...

Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

The artist knows he must be a...

The artist knows he must be alone to create; the writer, to work out his thoughts; the musician, to compose; the saint, to pray. But women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

I find there is a quality to ...

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.

there is no sin punished more implacably by nature than the sin of resistance to change.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

One writes not to be read but...

One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. One writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. One writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. Like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

When each partner loves so co...

When each partner loves so completely that he has forgotten to ask himself whether or not he is loved in return; when he only knows that he loves and is moving to its music--then, and then only are two people able to dance perfectly in tune to the same rhythm.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

I am very fond of the oyster ...

I am very fond of the oyster shell. It is humble and awkward and ugly. It is slate-colored and unsymmetrical. Its form is not primarily beautiful but functional. I make fun of its knobbiness. Sometimes I resent its burdens and excrescences. But its tireless adaptability and tenacity draw my astonished admiration and sometimes even my tears. And it is comfortable in its familiarity, its homeliness, like old garden gloves when have molded themselves perfectly to the shape of the hand. I do not like to put it down. I will not want to leave it.

One learns first of all in be...

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 259 quotes

The loneliness you get by the...

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 259 quotes

America, which has the most glorious present still existing in the world today, hardly stops to enjoy it, in her insatiable appetite for the future.

Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

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 259 quotes

Travelers are always discover...

Travelers are always discoverers, especially those who travel by air. 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 259 quotes

Certain springs are tapped on...

Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves; that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

The most exhausting thing in ...

The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere. That is why so much of social life is exhausting; one is wearing a mask. I have shed my mask.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

What release to write so that...

What release to write so that one forgets oneself, forgets one's companion, forgets where one is or what one is going to do next to be drenched in sleep or in the sea. Pencils and pads and curling blue sheets alive with letters heap up on the desk.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh 259 quotes

The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to.
