More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
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
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
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There is no hope of joy except in human relations.
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 instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I'll feel. By four I'll be excited and worried I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Living is being born slowly. It would be a little too easy if we could borrow ready-made souls.
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
Grown ups are certainly very strange.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the missed opportunity that counts, and in a love that vainly yearns from behind prison bars you have perchance the love supreme.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Mad is the man who is forever gritting his teeth against that granite block, complete and changeless, of the past.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
