Being alone Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“When one is a stranger to oneself, then one is estranged from others, too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. Only when one is connected to one's own core, is one connected to others. And for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be re-found through silence.” quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
