I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Straight ahead you can't go very far.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If it is true that wars are won by believers, it is also true that peace treaties are sometimes signed by businessmen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. And the pure logician, if no sun draws him forth, remains entangled in his logic.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Behind all seen things lies something vaster everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than iteself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No destiny attacks us from outside. But, within him, man bears his fate and there comes a moment when he knows himself vulnerable and then, as in a vertigo, blunder upon blunder lures him.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The strong are strengthened by reverses the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I showed the grown ups my maasterpiece, andI asked them if my drawing scared them. They answered why be scared of a hat? My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth is not that which is demonstrable but that which is ineluctable.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You give birth to that on which you fix your mind
