Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You give birth to that on which you fix your mind
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The important thing is to strive toward a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
