More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another. Such a friend is true, and all he says is true and he loves you even if he hates you in other mansions of his heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For there is but one problem - the problem of human relations. We forget that there is no hope or joy except in human relations.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I will appoint captains to rule my cities, for it is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
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 can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men, men are not united but merely lined up.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.
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
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people.What is true is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
An administration, like a machine, does not create. It carries on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What sets men at variance is but the treachery of language, for always they desire the same things.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Peace dies when the framework is ripped apart. When there is no longer a place that is yours in the world. When you know no longer where your friend is to be found.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What torments me is not the humps nor hollows nor the ugliness. It is the sight, a little bit in all these men, of Mozart murdered.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
