More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Whoever loves above all the approach of love will never know the joy of attaining it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The one thing that matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on from crest to crest and once the goal is reached it has no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
