More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown−ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
An administration, like a machine, does not create. It carries on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It's all a great mystery...Look up at the sky and you'll see how everything changes
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
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
