It Is In The Compelling Zest Of High Adventure And Of Victory, And In Creative Action, That Man Finds His Supreme Joys


Zest For Living Sayings

“It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupery


Antoine de Saint-Exupery was a French aviator and writer.

His works are the unique testimony of a pilot and a warrior who looked at adventure and danger with a poet’s eyes. His fable Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) has become a modern classic.

Here are a few Antoine de Saint-Exupery quotations from The Little Prince:


“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”

“If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers...”

“When someone blushes, doesn't that mean 'yes'?”
