A pilot's business is with the wind, and with the stars, with night, with sand, with the sea. He strives to outwit the forces of nature. He stares with expectancy for the coming of the dawn the way a gardener awaits the coming of spring. He looks forward to port as a promised land, and truth for him is what lives in the stars.

You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.

One only really sees with the heart.

A sky as pure as water bathed the stars and brought them out.

It is as a soldier that you make love and as a lover that you make war.

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.

Once men are caught up in an event, they cease to be afraid. Only the unknown frightens men.
