Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Quotes

Love is worth everything. EVERYTHING

Each man carries within him the soul of a poet who died young.

Farewell, eyes that I loved! Do not blame me if the human body cannot go three days without water. I should never have believed that man was so truly the prisoner of the springs and freshets. I had no notion that our self-sufficiency was so circumscribed. We take it for granted that a man is able to stride straight out into the world. We believe that man is free. We never see the cord that binds him to wells and fountains, that umbilical cord by which he is tied to the womb of the world. Let man take but one step too many... and the cord snaps.

Apart from your suffering, I have no regrets. All in all, it has been a good life. If I got free of this I should start right in again. A man cannot live a decent life in cities, and I need to feel myself live. I am not thinking of aviation. The airplane is a means, not an end. One doesn't risk one's life for a plane any more than a farmer ploughs for the sake of the plough. But the airplane is a means of getting away from towns and their bookkeeping and coming to grips with reality.

рече той на цветчето.
Но то не му отвърна.
- Сбогом - повтори той.
Цветчето покашля.Но то не беше от настинка.
- Аз бях глупава - каза най-сетне то. - Моля те да ми простиш.Дано бъдеш честит.
Той се изненада, че нямаше укори.И остана така, объркан, с похлупака в ръце.Той не проумяваше тази кротка нежност.
- Да, разбира се, аз те обичам - каза цветчето. - По моя вина ти нищо не разбра.Това няма никакво значение.Но и ти също така беше глупав като мен.Дано бъдеш щастлив...Остави този похлупак на мира.Не го ща вече!..

To live is to be born slowly. it would be a little too easy to borrow ready-made souls!

And the little prince said to the man, 'Grownups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always explaining things to them.

Nie potrzebuję ciebie. I ty mnie nie potrzebujesz. Jestem dla ciebie tylko lisem, podobnym do stu tysięcy innych lisów. Lecz jeżeli mnie oswoisz, będziemy się nawzajem potrzebować.

"So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near — Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

Then it has done you no good at all!"

It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields."

Son realmente hermosas pero vacías rosas -añadió el principito- Uno se siente impulsado a dejarse morir por ustedes

Les fleurs sont si contradictoires ! Mais j'étais trop jeune pour savoir l'aimer.

"No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. You are like my fox when I first knew him. He was only a fox like a hundred thousand foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique in all the world"
