"Man is, above all, he who creates...." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference.”

“What was my body to me? A kind of flunkey in my service. Let but my anger wax hot, my love grow exalted, my hatred collect in me, and that boasted solidarity between me and my body was gone.”

“We must not subject him who creates to the desires of the multitude. It is, rather, his creation that must become the multitude's desire.”

“My first two books are out of print and, okay, they can sleep there comfortably. It's early work, derivative work.”

“Nature makes the locust with an appetite for crops; man would have made him with an appetite for sand”

“Accursed who brings to light of day the writings I have cast away.”

“It is a thorough process, this war with the wilderness - breaking nature, taming the soil. feeding it on oats. The civilized man regards the pine tree as his enemy. He will fell it and let in the light, grub it up and raise wheat or rye there. It is no better than a fungus to him.”

“At one time, you could sit on the Rue de la Paix in Paris or at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv or in Medina and you could see a person come in, black, white, it didn't matter. You said, 'That's an American' because there's a readiness to smile and to talk to people.”

“I think that each of us is so much alike, and yet at the same time we are so different, and I have a feeling that if you encountered difficulty, and I with my age encountered the same difficulty, I would respond one way, and you would respond another. Neither would be right or wrong. It's just that each of us is courageous, and that's what I encourage, courage, and the courage to see, and the courage to say to oneself what one has seen. Don't be in denial.”
