Author of quotes: Antoine de Saint-Exupery

If people spent a little more energy looking for and discovering what unites them, and not multiplying what divides them, perhaps we would be able to live in peace.

Je n'ai point d'espoir de sortir par moi de ma solitude. La pierre n'a point d'espoir d'être autre chose que pierre. Mais, de collaborer, elle s'assemble et devient temple.

Words for truth are bad clothes, any of the words can be refuted. My tongue is awkward, and I often contradict myself. But this does not mean that I was wrong.

the top - because you are a man. But they don't know why.

The words life and death tease each other, but you can only live what you agree to die for. The one who renounces death also renounces life.

They thought they had become richer when everyone dragged a piece of the temple to them; they lost the sanctuary, acquired a pile of rubble.

The truth is dug like a well. The look, when it is scattered and scattered, loses the ability to see God.

I morally get sick if I don't fight. I can tell a lot about current events. But to say only as a soldier, not as a tourist. <...> I do not like war, but can't stay in the rear and not take on their share of risk. <...> It is necessary to fight. But I have no right to talk about it, yet in complete safety walking in the sky over Toulouse. It would be obscene. Give me back my right to be tested. The great spiritual abomination to claim that those who is a some value, it is necessary to keep safe!



Explanation of the quote:

Letter H. (Toulouse, 26 October 1939). Translated from the French by L. M. Ziviani.
[The next day after the announcement by France of war against Germany on 4 September 1939, the captain of the air force reserve Antoine de Saint-Exupery came to your mobilization point. Friends tried to persuade him not to take the risk, assuring that it will bring more use of France as a writer. But he wasn't going to refuse the decision. In a private letter, dated October 1939, before the German invasion of France, he argued his position.]

In my lifetime I met many different serious people. I lived a long time among adults. I saw them very close. And that, frankly, don't think about them better.
