Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.
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
If France is to be judged, judge her not by the effects of her defeat but by her readiness to sacrifice herself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
