1
On experience: At our age we can get rid of a lot of superficials. Vanity for one thing. We can relax in whatever is becoming and comfortable. We don't have to be "house-proud" and struggle over our possessions. Many of our duties to family, to town or country have dropped. We are freer now to do what we want. We can choose our pleasures, without guilt, be ourselves without pretense.
2
On solitude: Certain springs are tapped only when we are alone. Women need solitude in order to find again the true essence of themselves; that firm strand which will be the indispensable center of a whole web of human relationships.
3
On friendship: One can never pay in gratitude; one can only pay "in kind" somewhere else in life.
The Lindberghs' oldest child, Charles Lindbergh Jr., was kidnapped from their home outside Hopewell, New Jersey on March 1, 1932. After a massive investigation, his dead body was discovered the following May 12, some four miles from the Lindberghs' home. The frenzied level of press attention paid to the Lindbergh kidnapping, and subsequent trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, prompted Charles and Anne to move to England, and later to France, Switzerland, and Hawaii.
