In every crowd are certain persons who seem just like the rest, yet they bear amazing messages.
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
(0 Reviews)

In "Night Flight," Antoine de Saint-Exupéry conveys the idea that within every group of people, there are individuals who, although they blend in seamlessly, possess profound insights or messages. This notion emphasizes the hidden depth that can reside within ordinary appearances, suggesting that one should look beyond surface-level perceptions to uncover valuable wisdom. The quote implies that meaningful contributions often come from those who may not stand out at first glance.

Saint-Exupéry's perspective encourages us to recognize and appreciate the significance of each person we encounter. It invites us to listen closely and seek understanding, as even the most unassuming individuals may have stories or knowledge that can greatly enrich our lives. Ultimately, the message is about the importance of compassion and open-mindedness in our interactions with others, fostering a deeper connection among us all.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
