Let a man in a garret but burn with enough intensity and he will set fire to the world.

I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.

What did I care about my hammer, about my bolt, about thirst or death? There was, on one star, on one planet, on mine, the Earth, a little prince to be consoled! I took him in my arms. I rocked him. I told him, 'The flower you love is not in danger...I'll draw you a muzzle for your sheep...I'll draw you a fence for your flower...I' I didn't know what to say. How clumsy I felt! I didn't know how to reach him, where to find him...It's so mysterious, the land of tears.

If I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water.

When I find a woman attractive, I have nothing at all to say. I simply watch her smile. Intellectuals take apart her face in order to explain it bit by bit, but they no longer see the smile.

We don’t ask to be eternal beings. We only ask that things do not lose all their meaning.

I am who I am and I have the need to be.
