More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
She knew this man's smile, his gentle ways of love, but not his godlike fury in the storm. She might snare him in a fragile net of music, love and flowers, but, at each departure, he would break forth without, it seemed to her, the least regret.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

One day, you said to me, I saw the sunset forty-four times! And a little later you added: You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad... Were you so sad, then? I asked, on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
