More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Straight ahead you can't go very far.
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
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The theoretician believes in logic and believes that he despises dreams, intuition, and poetry. He does not recognize that these three fairies have only disguised themselves in order to dazzle him.... He does not know that he owes his greatest discoveries to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Even though human life may be the most precious thing on earth, we always behave as if there were something of higher value than human life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Intelligence is not creative judgment is not creative. If a sculptor is nothing but skill and mind, his hands will be without genius.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
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
He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown−ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
