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.

To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must observe the proper rites.
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
It's all a great mystery...Look up at the sky and you'll see how everything changes

No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another. Such a friend is true, and all he says is true and he loves you even if he hates you in other mansions of his heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If it is true that wars are won by believers, it is also true that peace treaties are sometimes signed by businessmen.
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
Sorrow is one of the vibrations that prove the fact of living.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One day, you said to me, I saw the sunset forty-four times! And a little later you added: You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad... Were you so sad, then? I asked, on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply.
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
Even though human life may be the most precious thing on earth, we always behave as if there were something of higher value than human life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'
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
