"The wind in the grain is the..." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“Flying is a man's job and its worries are a man's worries.”

“To live is to be slowly born.”

“How is it possible for one to own the stars?" "To whom do they belong?" the businessman retorted, peevishly. "I don't know. To nobody.”

“We are all youthful barbarians, and only our new toys bring us excitement. That has been the sole purpose of our flights. This one flies higher, that one faster. But now we will make ourselves at home. We will forget the machine, the tool. It is no longer complex; it does what it is supposed to do, unnoticed. And through this tool we will find again the old nature, the nature of the gardener, the navigator, the poet.”

“To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone.”

“ALL things in Nature work silently. They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim.”

“We will not build a peaceful world by following a negative path. It is not enough to say we will not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it. We must concentrate not merely on the negative expulsion of war, but on the positive affirmation of peace”

“I see that nature offers us a solution to everything that we call a problem. If you can just find your own nature and live it as naturally as you possibly can and be in a state of awe over everything, it doesn't matter where you are. It almost speaks to you and says, "There's no reason to be upset about anything. It will pass." If it's really going to pass, why stay confused by it and depressed by it. Just watch it go. It's on its way out. That's what I began to do.”

“In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has become even more apparent that all men are, indeed, brothers.”
