If
you want to build a ship
don't herd people together to collect wood
and don't assign them tasks and work,
but rather teach them to long for the
endless immensity of the sea...
- A. Saint-Exupery

Si tu veux construire un bateau,
ne rassemble pas des hommes pour aller chercher du bois,
préparer des outils,
répartir les taches,
alléger le travail,
mais enseigne aux gens la nostalgie de l’infini de la mer... - A.
