Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
All of us have had the experience of a sudden joy that came when nothing in the world had forewarned us of its coming - a joy so thrilling that if it was born of misery we remembered even the misery with tenderness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But games always cover something deep and intense, else there would be no excitement in them, no pleasure, no power to stir us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Si quelqu'un veut un mouton, c'est la preuve qu'il en existe un. (If somebody wants a sheep, that is a proof that one exists.)
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a down spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.
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
Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason some come to learn and others come to teach.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
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
For there is but one problem - the problem of human relations. We forget that there is no hope or joy except in human relations.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
