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
He who would travel happy must travel lite.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Mad is the man who is forever gritting his teeth against that granite block, complete and changeless, of the past.
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
