Publisher Description
A delightful collection of inspiring quotations from the mind of Antoine de Saint- Exupéry, author of The Little Prince.
“One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”
For more than sixty years, this insight from The Little Prince has been quoted in more than 130 languages by fans around the world. Now, for the first time, quotations from the collected works and letters of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry are presented in a charming gift edition. Six chapters—“Happiness,” “Friendship,” “Responsibility,” “Fortitude,” “Love,” and “What Is Essential”—offer inspirational and thought-provoking words about the subjects held most dear by the author.
A perfect gift for graduates—or for anyone who wants gentle guidance.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The oft-quoted insights of The Little Prince, as well as aphorisms from other Saint-Exupery books, such as Flight to Arras and Wind, Sand and Stars, are gathered in A Guide For Grown-ups: Essential Wisdom from the Collected Works of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Edited by Anna Marlis Burgard, the tiny volume offers a smattering of quotations on love, ("love is not thinking, but being") friendship and responsibility ("there is no growth except in the fulfillment of obligations"), making this a likely gift book, especially for those who believe, with Saint-Exupery, that "in giving you are throwing a bridge across the chasm of your solitude."
