Anna Neagle quotes

No matter how much we love our family and friends, a part of us needs the occasional moment of solitude as a plant needs water. It is the inmost core of each of us that, that part which nobody can define but which we all recognize because it never changes. (Anna Neagle)
But if we learn to think of it as anticipation, as learning, as growing, if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things of life as an opportunity instead of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open out! View quote
Anna Neagle

Anna Neagle

Anna Neagle

So it is necessary that we should learn to be alone. View quote
Anna Neagle

Anna Neagle
Everyone needs some time to themselves. View quote
Anna Neagle
But the delights of solitude don't only consist of dreaming. Next in enjoyment, I think, comes planning. (Anna Neagle)
