More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
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
I am who I am and I have the need to be.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth is not that which is demonstrable but that which is ineluctable.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No one is ever satisfied where he is.
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
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
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
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You know...my flower...I'm responsible for her. And she's so weak! And so naive. She has four ridiculous thorns to defend her against the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the duty of the ship's captain to make port, cost what it may.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perhaps creativity is fumbling that dance step, or driving the chisel the wrong way into the stone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Whoever loves above all the approach of love will never know the joy of attaining it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
On ne sait jamais! One never knows!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
