More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who must travel happily must travel light.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No destiny attacks us from outside. But, within him, man bears his fate and there comes a moment when he knows himself vulnerable and then, as in a vertigo, blunder upon blunder lures him.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.
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
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
