Danh ngôn của Anne Morrow Lindbergh (Sứ mệnh: 8)

The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.
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.
The punctuation of anniversaries is terrible, like the closing of doors, one after another between you and what you want to hold on to.
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.
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
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.
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.
Life is a gift, given in trust - like a child.
Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
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.
Grief can't be shared. Everyone carries it alone. His own burden in his own way.
Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
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.
For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair.
Perhaps this is the most important thing for me to take back from beach-living: simply the memory that each cycle of the tide is valid; each cycle of the wave is valid; each cycle of a relationship is valid.
