Here is my secret. It is very simple. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

All Antoine de Saint-Exupéry quotes →
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
