114 years of Antoine Saint-Exupery

Bracelet Exupery was accidentally fished a fisherman off the coast of Marseille in 1998. It reads well engraving - address of the publisher, producing books of the writer, and two names - «Antoine» and «Consuelo».





Consuelo - Exupery's wife, his mistress, his muse, and the prototype of Rose in "The Little Prince».
And in May 2000 in the sea have been found and brought to the surface fragments of the aircraft on which Exupery flew its last flight in July 31, 1944.



The day is given to family quarrels, the same night the man returned to the Love. Because Love is stronger than that of verbal wind. And the man sits by the window, under the stars - he again feels the responsibility for the sleeping children and for the future of bread, and a dream of his wife, so fragile, delicate and short-lived. Love - do not argue about it. She has.
("Military Pilot" A.Ekzyuperi)



Often a smile is the most important thing. Smile thank. Smile reward. Smile, give you life. And there's a smile, for which you will go to death.
("Letter to a Hostage" A.Ekzyuperi)



Be a man - it means to feel that you're responsible for everything. Burning with shame of poverty, although it seems there is not your fault. Proud of the victory, which won comrades. And to know that, putting the stone, helping to build peace.
("Terre des Hommes", A.Ekzyuperi)
Consuelo with Alexei Leonov, 1966



It is important to go and not go somewhere, because we come only in death.
("Citadel", A.Ekzyuperi)



Parents - this huge region, where it comes from everyone! Where did I come from? I come from my childhood, as if from some country ...
("Military Pilot" A.Ekzyuperi)



There is a strict rule: got up in the morning, washed, brought himself into order - and immediately set in order his planet.
When it becomes very sad, good to see how the sun sets.
Each person has their own star.



Children need to be very lenient towards adults.
You know why the desert is good? Somewhere in her hiding springs.
With each need to ask what he can give. Power must first be reasonable.



If you love flowers - the only one of no more on any of the many millions of stars - it is enough to look at the sky - and you're happy.

When you give yourself to tame, and then happens to cry.



Read only those things that are tame.
Other work can wait a bit, no harm. But if you give will baobab trouble is inevitable.



Judge himself. This is the most difficult. Himself judged much harder than others. If you can correctly judge yourself, then you are truly wise.

You all are responsible for all those who tamed.



Well, when there are other, even if we must die.
This is the last, thank you.
