Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

Only he can understand what a farm is, what a country is, who shall have sacrificed part of himself to his farm or country, fought to save it, struggled to make it beautiful. Only then will the love of farm or country fill his heart.

A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step.

Whoever loves above all the approach of love will never know the joy of attaining it.

When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.

Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.
