“I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.”
“Men kick friendship around like a football but it doesn't seem to break. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces."
“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 (1906-2001)
pioneering American aviator and author; married to aviator Charles Lindbergh (photo from Wikipedia)

lol!! i found myself nodding for all the quotes.. all pearls of wisdom !
ReplyDeleteLoved the first and third quotes! Not sure about the second one! :)
ReplyDeleteGift From the Sea has staying power. I first read it in 1975, and it's remained one of those "once-a-year" books. Sometimes more. She understands the complex relationships between the physical and spiritual/mental world as well as anyone.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting meme and wonderful quotes. I especially like the one about mothers and housewives.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great quotes Suko! Especially that second one, so true.
ReplyDeleteGift from the Sea is such a great litle book; almost like a devotional! The one about friendship really makes me think. Smile, but think at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful comments. It was fun to try a new meme.
ReplyDeleteThank you for these quotes Suko ! I like very much the first one !
ReplyDeleteSome great quotes, I especially like the one about friendship.
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about Anne Morrow Lingbergh, but I believe she was an amazing woman, through thick and thin and raising 6 wonderful children.
ReplyDeleteAnne Morrow Lindbergh's book is a beautifully written narrative about the glories of Life and Change. For an over 40 year old book, the message is timeless and one that brings a peaceful feeling, similar to lying on a quiet beach listening to the ebb and flow of the waves. For this hectic, overly tasked world, it is a joy to read (and listen to on audio) again and again.
