We live not by things, but by the meaning of things. It is needful to transmit the passwords from generation to generation.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her... I ought to have guessed all the affection that lay behind her poor little stratagems. Flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young to know how to love her.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A man's age represents a fine cargo of experiences and memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Straight ahead you can't go very far.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
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
I still fall for your everyday.
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
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
An administration, like a machine, does not create. It carries on.
