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
Aimer, ce n'est point nous regarder l'un l'autre, mais regarder ensemble dans la meme direction. English Translation: To love is not to look at each other, But to look together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For instance, if you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy by three. The closer it gets to four, the happier I'll feel. By four I'll be excited and worried I'll discover what it costs to be happy! But if you come at any od time, I'll never know when I should prepare my heart... There must be rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No one is ever satisfied where he is.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But games always cover something deep and intense, else there would be no excitement in them, no pleasure, no power to stir us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If France is to be judged, judge her not by the effects of her defeat but by her readiness to sacrifice herself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One cannot build life from refrigerators, politics, credit statements and crossword puzzles. That is impossible. Nor can one exist for any length of time without poetry, without color, without love.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason some come to learn and others come to teach.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
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
Behind all seen things lies something vaster everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than iteself.
