29 June: Antoine de Saint-Exupery

On this date in 1900 Antoine de Saint-Exupery, French writer and aviator, was born. Here are some quotations:

  1. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
  2. Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.
  3. Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
  4. If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
  5. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
  6. The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
  7. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
  8. A goal without a plan is just a wish.
  9. True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
  10. When someone blushes, doesn't that mean 'yes'?
