Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Night, when words fade and things come alive.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

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
In those days, I didn't understand anything. I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. I should never have run away! I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. Flowers are so contadictory! But I was too young to know how to love her.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man's progress is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
