Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
