More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The house, the stars, the desert -- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Behind all seen things lies something vaster everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than iteself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Prison is not a mere physical horror. It is using a pickaxe to no purpose that makes a prison.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
There is no hope of joy except in human relations.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The theoretician believes in logic and believes that he despises dreams, intuition, and poetry. He does not recognize that these three fairies have only disguised themselves in order to dazzle him.... He does not know that he owes his greatest discoveries to them.
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
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Si quelqu'un veut un mouton, c'est la preuve qu'il en existe un. (If somebody wants a sheep, that is a proof that one exists.)
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who is different from me does not impoverish me - he enriches me. Our unity is constituted in something higher than ourselves - in Man... For no man seeks to hear his own echo, or to find his reflection in the glass.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wander a little from the truth.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you tame me, it would be as if the sun came to shine on my life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight, put your mind on the strategy of the fight, and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.
