"Only the children know what they are..." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“Peace dies when the framework is ripped apart. When there is no longer a place that is yours in the world. When you know no longer where your friend is to be found.”

“"It's a question of discipline," the little prince told me later on. "When you've finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet."”

“Once you are my friend, I am responsible for you.”

“You could analyze me and say that my father leaving and being absent was a motivator for early ambition, trying to prove myself to this apparition who had vanished. You could argue that me being a mixed kid in a place where there weren't a lot of black kids around might have spurred on my ambitions. You could go through a whole litany of things that sparked me wanting to do something important.”

“I came from a very intellectual neighborhood. When we played cowboys and Indians as kids, I had to be Gandhi.”

“I speak and the child plays: who can be more serious than we are?”

“To anticipate, not the sunrise and the dawn merely, but, if possible, Nature herself! How many mornings, summer and winter, before yet any neighbor was stirring about his business, have I been about mine...So many autumn, ay, and winter days, spent outside the town, trying to hear what was in the wind, to hear and carry it express! I well-nigh sunk all my capital in it, and lost my own breath into the bargain, running in the face of it.”

“I still live, I still think: I still have to live, for I still have to think.”

“For one day spent well, and agreeably to your precepts, is preferable to an eternity of error.”
