Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I did not know how to reach him, how to catch up with him... The land of tears is so mysterious.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No destiny attacks us from outside. But, within him, man bears his fate and there comes a moment when he knows himself vulnerable and then, as in a vertigo, blunder upon blunder lures him.
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
How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people.What is true is invisible to the eye. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you are to be, you must begin by assuming responsibility. You alone are responsible for every moment of your life, for every one of your acts.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man's progress is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound.
