Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

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

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined to strengthen each other, to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.

Who, being loved, is poor?

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.

Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache!

My love rumbles like the sternum of a lion. Be mindful of the beast you stir up.

But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I’m searching for something that I can’t reach.

I knew from that first moment we met. It was not love at first sight exactly, but – familiarity. Like oh, hello, it’s you. It’s going to be you. Game over.

It is most unwise for people in love to marry.

You first.’ The only way love works.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

To get rid of an enemy one must love him.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.
