More quotes by 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
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There is no hope of joy except in human relations.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man is a knot into which relationships are tied.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
On ne sait jamais! One never knows!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
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
She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I wonder, he said, whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Flying is a man's job and its worries are a man's worries.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A man has many parts, he is virtually everything, and you are free to select in him that part which pleases you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. And the pure logician, if no sun draws him forth, remains entangled in his logic.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom, and above all futility.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible for a long time for what you've tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown ups are certainly very strange.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
