“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

“I couldn't leave, because far from this land I would have been like the trees they cut down at Christmas, those poor pines without roots that last a little while and then die.”
― Isabel Allende, The House of the Spirits

“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 greatness of a profession lies, perhaps, first of all, in the bond it creates between men: there is only one true luxury, and that is human relationships. By working only for material goods, we build our own prison. We lock ourselves up, solitary, with our ash money that provides nothing that is worth living.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Wind, Sand and Stars
