Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sorrow is one of the vibrations that prove the fact of living.
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
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

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is reachednot when there's nothing to add, but when there's nothing to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world.
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
You're not a man, you're a mushroom!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
