More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. -from the Fox-
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you tame someone they become unique to you in all the world
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Men have forgotten this truth, said the fox. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who would travel happy must travel lite.
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
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
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight, put your mind on the strategy of the fight, and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The one thing that matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on from crest to crest and once the goal is reached it has no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.
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
