More quotes by 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
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
The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always learned to distinguish the important from the urgent.
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
Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In those days, I didn't understand anything. I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. I should never have run away! I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. Flowers are so contadictory! But I was too young to know how to love her.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
