True love is visible not to the eyes but to the heart, for eyes may be deceived.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It's a question of discipline, the little prince told me later on. When you've finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I saw the sunset forty-four times!
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
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
I have always learned to distinguish the important from the urgent.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The strong are strengthened by reverses the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is reachednot when there's nothing to add, but when there's nothing to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
That's the way they are. You must not hold it against them. Children should be very understanding of grown-ups.
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
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The important thing is to strive toward a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But the conceited man did not hear him. Conceited people never hear anything but praise.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One can be a brother only in something. Where there is no tie that binds men, men are not united but merely lined up.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perhaps creativity is fumbling that dance step, or driving the chisel the wrong way into the stone.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If a composer suffers from loss of sleep and his sleeplessness induces him to turn out masterpieces, what a profitable loss it is!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the children know what they are looking for. They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry.
