More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You cannot plant an acorn in the morning, and expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of an oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I did not know how to reach him, how to catch up with him... The land of tears is so mysterious.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Men have forgotten this truth, said the fox. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One day, you said to me, I saw the sunset forty-four times! And a little later you added: You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad... Were you so sad, then? I asked, on the day of the forty-four sunsets? But the little prince made no reply.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A pilot's business is with the wind, and with the stars, with night, with sand, with the sea. He strives to outwit the forces of nature. He stares with expectancy for the coming of the dawn the way a gardener awaits the coming of spring. He looks forward to port as a promised land, and truth for him is what lives in the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason some come to learn and others come to teach.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It's all a great mystery...Look up at the sky and you'll see how everything changes
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perhaps creativity is fumbling that dance step, or driving the chisel the wrong way into the stone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
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
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
