Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To become a man is to be responsible to be ashamed of miseries that you did not cause.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who is different from me does not impoverish me - he enriches me. Our unity is constituted in something higher than ourselves - in Man... For no man seeks to hear his own echo, or to find his reflection in the glass.

The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
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
Why are you drinking? demanded the little prince. So that I may forget, replied the tippler. Forget what? inquired the little prince, who was already sorry for him. Forget that I am ashamed, the tippler confessed, hanging his head. Ashamed of what? insisted the little prince, who wanted to help him. Ashamed of drinking!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In order to cure a feeling of malaise, you have to throw light on it.
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
