More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Surely a man needs a closed place wherein he may strike root and, like the seed, become. But also he needs the great Milky Way above him and the vast sea spaces, though neither stars nor ocean serve his daily needs.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
All of us have had the experience of a sudden joy that came when nothing in the world had forewarned us of its coming - a joy so thrilling that if it was born of misery we remembered even the misery with tenderness.
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
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
For there is but one problem - the problem of human relations. We forget that there is no hope or joy except in human relations.
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
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
To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must observe the proper rites.
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
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If Someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What value has compassion that does not take its object in its arms?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
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
I will appoint captains to rule my cities, for it is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
