More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

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
