"I have lived a great deal among..." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“Perfection is attained, not when no more can be added, but when no more can be removed.”

“To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown−ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.”

“You know... when you are sad you love the sunsets.”

“I think we overrate ourselves in terms of our abilities and capacities. I mean, just because you can build a really swell bridge doesn't, to my way of thinking, mean that you're an advanced civilization.”

“On the whole, my respect for my fellow-men, except as one may outweigh a million, is not being increased these days.... Such do not know that like the seed is the fruit, and that, in the moral world, when good seed is planted, good fruit is inevitable, and does not depend on our watering and cultivating; that when you plant, or bury, a hero in his field, a crop of heroes is sure to spring up. This is a seed of such force and vitality, that it does not ask our leave to germinate.”

“The sea drowns out humanity and time. It has no sympathy with either, for it belongs to eternity; and of that it sings its monotonous song forever and ever.”

“She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign of despair in a woman.”

“A woman can have a smile, and a woman can have a large backside, but I have been to the mountain and I am here to tell you that when a woman has both of those things she is not to be trusted.”

“Mrs Weaver nosed among the books, too dim-witted to grasp that they were in alphabetical order.”
