Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What was my body to me? A kind of flunkey in my service. Let but my anger wax hot, my love grow exalted, my hatred collect in me, and that boasted solidarity between me and my body was gone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.
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
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What torments me is not the humps nor hollows nor the ugliness. It is the sight, a little bit in all these men, of Mozart murdered.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
