To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In every crowd are certain persons who seem just like the rest, yet they bear amazing messages.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In order to cure a feeling of malaise, you have to throw light on it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The proof that the little prince existed is that he was charming, that he laughed, and that he was looking for a sheep. If anybody wants a sheep, that is a proof that he exists.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One is a member of a country, a profession, a civilization, a religion. One is not just a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Night, when words fade and things come alive.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always learned to distinguish the important from the urgent.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Flying is a man's job and its worries are a man's worries.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
