More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sorrow is one of the vibrations that prove the fact of living.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Where I live, everything is very small.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The important thing is to strive toward a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.
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
He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The one thing that matters is the effort.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not a question of living dangerously. That formula is too arrogant, too presumptuous. I don't care much for bull-fighters. It's not the danger I love. I know what I love. It is life itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the savor of bread broken with comrades that makes us accept the values of war.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man is a knot into which relationships are tied.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
In giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If Someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
