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
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We live not by things, but by the meaning of things. It is needful to transmit the passwords from generation to generation.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Even our misfortunes are a part of our belongings.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To live is to be slowly born.
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
Perhaps creativity is fumbling that dance step, or driving the chisel the wrong way into the stone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the missed opportunity that counts, and in a love that vainly yearns from behind prison bars you have perchance the love supreme.
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
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
You do not explain the tree by telling of the water it has drunk, the minerals it has absorbed, and the sunlight that strengthened it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who bears in his heart a cathedral to be built is already victorious. He who seeks to become sexton of a finished cathedral is already defeated.
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
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
Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The house, the stars, the desert -- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In order to cure a feeling of malaise, you have to throw light on it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not a question of living dangerously. That formula is too arrogant, too presumptuous. I don't care much for bull-fighters. It's not the danger I love. I know what I love. It is life itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
