Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We are forever responsible for that which we have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One is a member of a country, a profession, a civilization, a religion. One is not just a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
