More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When I find a woman attractive, I have nothing at all to say. I simply watch her smile. Intellectuals take apart her face in order to explain it bit by bit, but they no longer see the smile.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Straight ahead you can't go very far.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth is not that which is demonstrable but that which is ineluctable.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you are to be, you must begin by assuming responsibility. You alone are responsible for every moment of your life, for every one of your acts.
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
Confuse not love with the raptures of possession, which bring the cruellest of sufferings. For, notwithstanding the general opinion, love does not cause suffering: what causes it is the sense of ownership, which is love's opposite.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You do not explain the tree by telling of the water it has drunk, the minerals it has absorbed, and the sunlight that strengthened it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No destiny attacks us from outside. But, within him, man bears his fate and there comes a moment when he knows himself vulnerable and then, as in a vertigo, blunder upon blunder lures him.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
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
Look at the sky. Ask yourselves: Has the sheep eaten the flower, yes or no? And you will see how everything changes.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
