More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The one thing that matters is the effort.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
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
If a composer suffers from loss of sleep and his sleeplessness induces him to turn out masterpieces, what a profitable loss it is!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If Someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I wonder, he said, whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The one thing that matters is the effort. It continues, whereas the end to be attained is but an illusion of the climber, as he fares on and on from crest to crest and once the goal is reached it has no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No one is ever satisfied where he is.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The wind in the grain is the caress to the spouse it is the hand of peace stroking her hair.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The house, the stars, the desert -- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight, put your mind on the strategy of the fight, and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We are forever responsible for that which we have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Aimer, ce n'est point nous regarder l'un l'autre, mais regarder ensemble dans la meme direction. English Translation: To love is not to look at each other, But to look together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
