Prison is not a mere physical horror. It is using a pickaxe to no purpose that makes a prison.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there - those things the god of battle does not take account of.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We live not by things, but by the meaning of things. It is needful to transmit the passwords from generation to generation.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In order to cure a feeling of malaise, you have to throw light on it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown ups are certainly very strange.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not a question of living dangerously. That formula is too arrogant, too presumptuous. I don't care much for bull-fighters. It's not the danger I love. I know what I love. It is life itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One day, you said to me, I saw the sunset forty-four times! And a little later you added: You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad... Were you so sad, then? I asked, on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If a composer suffers from loss of sleep and his sleeplessness induces him to turn out masterpieces, what a profitable loss it is!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Intelligence is not creative judgment is not creative. If a sculptor is nothing but skill and mind, his hands will be without genius.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The theoretician believes in logic and believes that he despises dreams, intuition, and poetry. He does not recognize that these three fairies have only disguised themselves in order to dazzle him.... He does not know that he owes his greatest discoveries to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We must not subject him who creates to the desires of the multitude. It is, rather, his creation that must become the multitude's desire.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the duty of the ship's captain to make port, cost what it may.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One cannot build life from refrigerators, politics, credit statements and crossword puzzles. That is impossible. Nor can one exist for any length of time without poetry, without color, without love.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
