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.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The strong are strengthened by reverses the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Sometimes, there is no harm in putting off a piece of work until another day.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The house, the stars, the desert -- what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
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
The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One is a member of a country, a profession, a civilization, a religion. One is not just a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A goal without a pan is just a wish.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.
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
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We must not subject him who creates to the desires of the multitude. It is, rather, his creation that must become the multitude's desire.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound.
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
