More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I am who I am and I have the need to be.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always learned to distinguish the important from the urgent.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
