More quotes by 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
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
One is a member of a country, a profession, a civilization, a religion. One is not just a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
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
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
Intelligence is not creative judgment is not creative. If a sculptor is nothing but skill and mind, his hands will be without genius.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In those days, I didn't understand anything. I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. I should never have run away! I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. Flowers are so contadictory! But I was too young to know how to love her.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who must travel happily must travel light.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others.
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
If I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When someone blushes, doesn't that mean 'yes'?
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
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
You know...my flower...I'm responsible for her. And she's so weak! And so naive. She has four ridiculous thorns to defend her against the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man's progress is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
