More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Image
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
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
Image
The injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there - those things the god of battle does not take account of.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
And that heart which was a wild garden was given to him who only loved trim lawns. And the imbecile carried the princess into slavery.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
What have you come to Earth for?' 'I'm having difficulties with a flower,' the little prince said. 'Ah!' said the snake. And they were both silent.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
Truth is not that which is demonstrable but that which is ineluctable.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
Defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom, and above all futility.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
To become a man is to be responsible to be ashamed of miseries that you did not cause.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
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
Image
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another. Such a friend is true, and all he says is true and he loves you even if he hates you in other mansions of his heart.
