More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom, and above all futility.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You know...my flower...I'm responsible for her. And she's so weak! And so naive. She has four ridiculous thorns to defend her against the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're not a man, you're a mushroom!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you want to build a boat, do not instruct the men to saw wood, stitch the sails, prepare the tools and organize the work, but make them long for setting sail and travel to distant lands.
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
You cannot plant an acorn in the morning, and expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of an oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What sets us against one another is not our aims - they all come to the same thing - but our methods, which are the fruit of our varied reasoning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a down spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He had taken seriously words which were without importance, and it made him very unhappy.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If France is to be judged, judge her not by the effects of her defeat but by her readiness to sacrifice herself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I saw the sunset forty-four times!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The wind in the grain is the caress to the spouse it is the hand of peace stroking her hair.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But games always cover something deep and intense, else there would be no excitement in them, no pleasure, no power to stir us.
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
He who is different from me does not impoverish me - he enriches me. Our unity is constituted in something higher than ourselves - in Man... For no man seeks to hear his own echo, or to find his reflection in the glass.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
