"We don’t ask to be eternal beings...." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.”

“Water, thou hast no taste, no color, no odor; canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses.”

“He fell as gently as a tree falls. There was not even any sound.”

“If today were my last day, would I do what I'm doing?...If the answer was 'No' too many days in a row, I'd make a change.”

“For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem.”

“I think it makes small difference to the dead, if they are buried in the tokens of luxury. All that is an empty glorification left for those who live.”

“Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.”

“If you don’t want your life to be 'messed up', don’t fool around with those who have messed up theirs.”

“Audacious ribald: your laughter will finish in hideous boredom before morning.”
