More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To become a man is to be responsible to be ashamed of miseries that you did not cause.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A pilot's business is with the wind, and with the stars, with night, with sand, with the sea. He strives to outwit the forces of nature. He stares with expectancy for the coming of the dawn the way a gardener awaits the coming of spring. He looks forward to port as a promised land, and truth for him is what lives in the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the duty of the ship's captain to make port, cost what it may.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Flying is a man's job and its worries are a man's worries.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One only really sees with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Demagoguery enters at the moment when, for want of a common denominator, the principle of equality degenerates into the principle of identity.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who must travel happily must travel light.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What was my body to me? A kind of flunkey in my service. Let but my anger wax hot, my love grow exalted, my hatred collect in me, and that boasted solidarity between me and my body was gone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must observe the proper rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No one is ever satisfied where he is.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight, put your mind on the strategy of the fight, and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes we behave as though there was something more important than life. But what?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
