Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I'll feel. By four I'll be excited and worried I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're not a man, you're a mushroom!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The theoretician believes in logic and believes that he despises dreams, intuition, and poetry. He does not recognize that these three fairies have only disguised themselves in order to dazzle him.... He does not know that he owes his greatest discoveries to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason some come to learn and others come to teach.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always learned to distinguish the important from the urgent.
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
