Over a quarter of a century after its first publication, the great and simple wisdom in this book continues to influence women's lives.
> Par LESECRITS (Les lectures d'Antigone ...) : Anne Morrow Lindbergh 9 mai 2012 ... Malgré ses quelques traits un peu datés, Solitude face à la mer est un très beau texte d'introspection et de méditation. L'écrivain pose un regard sur la femme américaine d'alors et forte des préceptes de Virginia Woolf (Une chambre à soi) lui souhaite du temps pour elle, pour la solitude et pour l'échange, une vie simple pour garder conscience de sa vie, de l'espace pour restituer aux choses leurs valeur et leur beauté.
"Les vagues font écho derrière moi. Patience, foi, ouverture du cœur et de l'esprit, simplicité, solitude, intermittence, voilà ce que la mer enseigne. Mais il y a d'autres plages à explorer, d'autres coquillages à trouver. Ceci n'est qu'un commencement."
A thing of beauty which "has the eternal validity of all beautiful and fleeting things." It is a sincere and eloquent plea for the ineffable rights of the individual, especially the individual as a woman.
I would swap it for all the bestseller, do-good, inspirational books I have read. Here are some of the profoundest and most helpful observations and comments, expressed in the clearest language, in the warmest tone.
Though it deals with the essential needs, gifts, obligations and aspirations of woman as distinct from those of man, it is in no sense merely what is sometimes slightingly called a woman's book. A sensitive, tensile, original mind probes delicately into questions of balance and relationship in the world today, and the result is a book for human beings who are mature or in search of maturity, whether men or women.

I want...to live "in grace" as much of the time as possible...I believe most people are aware of periods in their lives when they seem to be "in grace" and other periods when they feel "out of grace" even though they may use different words to describe these states.
There are...certain roads that one may follow. Simplification of life is one of them.
Moon shell...You will remind me that I must try to be alone for part of each year, even a week or a few days; and for part of each day, even for an hour or a few minutes in order to keep my core, my center, my island-quality.
Woman must...learn to stand alone.
In middle age...one tries to cure the signs of growth...when really they might be angels of annunciation. Angels of annunciation of what? Of a new stage of living when, having shed many of the physical struggles, the worldly ambitions, the material encumbrances of active life, one might be free to fulfill the neglected side of one's self. One might be free for growth of mind, heart, and talent; free at last for spiritual growth...
Perhaps, middle age is or should be, a period of shedding shells; the shell of ambition, the shell of material accumulations and possessions, the shell of the ego.
Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now.
When you love someone you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility.
...the acquisitive instinct is incompatible with true appreciation of beauty.
Island precepts...Simplicity of living...to attain a true awareness of life. Balance of physical, intellectual, and spiritual life. Work without pressure. Space for significance and beauty. Time for solitude and sharing. Closeness to nature to strengthen understanding and faith in the intermittency of life: life of the spirit, creative life, and the life of human relationships. A few shells.
The most exhausting thing in life, I have discovered, is being insincere.
We walk up the beach in silence, but in harmony, as the sandpipers ahead of us move like a corps of ballet dancers keeping time to some interior rhythm inaudible to us.
