Antoine de Saint-Exupery Remembered

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944) was a French writer and pilot who died under mysterious circumstances during World War II. He once wrote: "One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born." And, he said: "What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it."

In "The Little Prince," he wrote, "Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."
