More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. And the pure logician, if no sun draws him forth, remains entangled in his logic.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
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
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!

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What value has compassion that does not take its object in its arms?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Whoever loves above all the approach of love will never know the joy of attaining it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Peace dies when the framework is ripped apart. When there is no longer a place that is yours in the world. When you know no longer where your friend is to be found.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
And that heart which was a wild garden was given to him who only loved trim lawns. And the imbecile carried the princess into slavery.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A man's age is something impressive, it sums up his life: maturity reached slowly and against many obstacles, illnesses cured, griefs and despairs overcome, and unconscious risks taken maturity formed through so many desires, hopes, regrets, forgotten things, loves. A man's age represents a fine cargo of experience and memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sorrow is one of the vibrations that prove the fact of living.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
