Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't s... - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

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

"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 succeded."

"Parting is inevitably painful, even for a short time. It's like an amputation, I feel a limb is being torn off, without which I shall be unable to function. And yet, once it is done... life rushes back into the void, richer, more vivid and fuller than before."

"It isn't for the moment you are struck that you need courage, but for that long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security."
