“You see?' said Prometheus. 'It is your fate to be Heracles the hero, burdened with labours, yet it is also your choice. You choose to submit to it. Such is the paradox of living. We willingly accept that we have no will.”

“Oh you whom I have loved, farewell. It is not my fault that the human body cannot survive three days without drinking. I did not believe I was so imprisoned by the sources. I did not suspect such a short autonomy. It is believed that man can march straight ahead. It is believed that man is free... One does not see the rope that binds him to the well, that binds him like an umbilical cord to the belly of the earth. If he takes one more step, he dies.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars

“The earth teaches us more about ourselves than all the books. Because it resists us. By measuring himself against the obstacle, man discovers himself.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars

“The storms, the fog, the snow will give you trouble, sometimes. Then think of those who have gone through it before you, and simply say to yourself: what others have managed to do, can always be done again.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars
