The nicest gifts are those left, nameless and quiet, unburdened with love, or vanity, or the desire for attention.
Anne Morrow LindberghWho is not afraid of pure space - that breathtaking empty space of an open door?
Anne Morrow LindberghFor it is only framed in space that beauty blooms. Only in space are events and objects and people unique and significant-and therefore beautiful. A tree has significance if one sees it against the empty face of sky. A note in music gains significance from the silences on either side. A candle flowers in the space of night. Even small and casual things take on significance if they are washed in space, like a few autumn grasses in one corner of an Oriental painting, the rest of the page bare.
Anne Morrow LindberghI believe that what woman resents is not so much giving herself in pieces as giving herself purposelessly.
