Famous Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Quotes

“Supposing I know of a flower that is absolutely unique, that is nowhere to be found except on my planet, and any minute that flower could accidentally be eaten up by a little lamb, isn't that important? If a person loves a flower that is the only one of its kind on all the millions and millions of stars, then gazing at the night sky is enough to make him happy. He says to himself "My flower is out there somewhere." But if the lamb eats the flower, then suddenly it's as if all the stars had stopped shining. Isn't that important?”

“Toi, tu auras des étoiles comme personne n'en a... – Que veux-tu dire ? – Quand tu regarderas le ciel, la nuit, puisque j'habiterai dans l'une d'elles, puisque je rirai dans l'une d'elles, alors ce sera pour toi comme si riaient toutes les étoiles. Tu auras, toi, des étoiles qui savent rire ! » Et il rit encore. « Et quand tu seras consolé (on se console toujours) tu seras content de m'avoir connu. Tu seras toujours mon ami. Tu auras envie de rire avec moi. »”

“When I opened my eyes, I saw nothing but the pool of nocturnal sky, for I was lying on my back with outstretched arms, face to face with that hatchery of stars. Only half awake, still unaware that those depths were sky, having no roof between those depths and me, no branches to screen them, no root to cling to, I was seized with vertigo and felt myself as if flung forth and plunging downward like a diver. But I did not fall. From nape to heel I discovered myself bound to earth. I felt a sort of appeasement in surrendering to it my weight. Gravitation had become as sovereign as love. The earth, I felt, was supporting my back, sustaining me, lifting me up, transporting me through the immense void of night.”

“ყველას თავისი ვარსკვლავები ჰყავს. მაგრამ ეს ვარსკვლავები სხვადასხვანაირია. ზოგისთვის, მაგალითად, მოგზაურისთვის - ვარსკვლავები მეგზურებია. სხვებისთვის - მხოლოდ მოციმციმე სინათლეებია ცაზე. სწავლულისთვის ვარსკვლავები პრობლემაა, იმ საქმოსანისთვის კი - ოქრო იყო. მაგრამ ესენი მდუმარე ვარსკვლავებია. შენ კი ისეთი ვარსკვლავების მფლობელი იქნები, რომელთა მსგავსი არავისა ჰყავს...”
