More From Anne Morrow Lindbergh

As a writer, i know that - you write a first draft and then put it in a drawer. the longer i can put it in a drawer, the better off i am. so i structure my writing so that things can sit.
Writing Firsts Drawers
Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.
Appreciation Acceptance Appreciate
I'm often asked how i define "success." it's an overused term, but i fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. one isn't enough: achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.
Appreciation Views Two
Make it a practice to avoid hating anyone. if someone's been guilty of despicable actions, especially toward me, i try to forget him. i used to follow a practice - somewhat contrived, i admit - to write the man's name on a piece of scrap paper, drop it into the lowest drawer of my desk, and say to myself: "that finishes the incident, and so far as i'm concerned, that fellow." the drawer became over the years a sort of private wastebasket for crumbled-up spite and discarded personalities.
Hate Writing Men
All i want is a room somewhere, far away from the cold night air. with one enormous chair; oh wouldn't it be loverly? lots of choc'late for me to eat; lots of coal makin' lots of heat. warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet, oh wouldn't it be loverly? oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still! i would never budge 'til spring crept over my window sill. someone's head restin' on my knee; warm and tender as he can be, who takes good care of me; oh wouldn't it be loverly? loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.
Spring Night Air
Our thought should not merely be an answer to what someone else has just said. or what someone else might have said. our interior world must be more than an echo of the words of someone else. there is no point in being a moon to somebody else's sun, still less is there any justification for our being moons of one another, and hence darkness to one another, not one of us being a true sun.
