Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Behind all seen things lies something vaster everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than iteself.
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
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. -from the Fox-
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The strong are strengthened by reverses the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Prison is not a mere physical horror. It is using a pickaxe to no purpose that makes a prison.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You cannot plant an acorn in the morning, and expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of an oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Night, when words fade and things come alive.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I saw the sunset forty-four times!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown−ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When I find a woman attractive, I have nothing at all to say. I simply watch her smile. Intellectuals take apart her face in order to explain it bit by bit, but they no longer see the smile.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the missed opportunity that counts, and in a love that vainly yearns from behind prison bars you have perchance the love supreme.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
