Achieve Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“I must try to be alone for part of each year...and part of each day...in order to keep my core, my center...Women must be still as the axis of a wheel in the midst of her activities. She must be the pioneer of achieving this stillness, not only for her own salvation, but for the salvation of family life, of society, perhaps even of our civilization.”

![“[My] pictures are about memory and forgetfulness. The evidence is dissolving. Bones crumble; human ash returns to soil; teeth, sandals, hair, bullets, axes disperse into atoms and molecules. Footprints in the snow will be erased by the next storm. The evidence of evil, like the evidence of good…” quote by Simon Norfolk](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a3c/simon-norfolk-69071_ashes_my-pictures-are-about-memory-and-forgetf_262236.jpg)
