More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I wonder, he said, whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again.
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
The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. And the pure logician, if no sun draws him forth, remains entangled in his logic.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
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
What he had yearned to embrace was not the flesh but a down spirit, a spark, the impalpable angel that inhabits the flesh.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What torments me is not the humps nor hollows nor the ugliness. It is the sight, a little bit in all these men, of Mozart murdered.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We must not subject him who creates to the desires of the multitude. It is, rather, his creation that must become the multitude's desire.
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
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
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I believe that for his escape he took advantage of the migration of a flock of wild birds.
