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
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

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I am who I am and I have the need to be.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I know but one freedom and that is the freedom of the mind.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the savor of bread broken with comrades that makes us accept the values of war.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
