For those who would like to know what inspired me most in the books I read when I was a teenager, here is my translation of the original passage

“Wind, Sand and Stars” by Antoine de Saint Exupéry


As for you, Bedouin of Libya, who saved us, you will never be erased from my memory.  I will never remember your face. You are the Man and you appear to me with the face of all human beings at once. You have never stared at us, yet you already recognized us. You are the beloved brother. And in turn I shall recognize you in all human beings. You appear to me blessed with nobility and benevolence, great lord who has the power to dispense water.  All my friends, all my enemies in you walk towards me, and I don’t have a single enemy left in the world.


« Terre des Hommes" d'Antoine de Saint Exupéry:

"Quant à toi qui nous sauves, Bédouin de Libye, tu t'effaceras cependant à jamais de ma mémoire. Je ne me souviendrai jamais de ton visage. Tu es l'Homme et tu m'apparais avec le visage de tous les hommes à la fois. Tu ne nous a jamais dévisagés et déjà tu nous as reconnus. Tu es le frère bien-aimé. Et à mon tour, je te reconnaîtrai dans tous les hommes. Tu m'apparais baigné de noblesse et de bienveillance, grand seigneur qui as le pouvoir de donner à boire. Tous mes amis, tous mes ennemis en toi marchent vers moi, et je n'ai plus un seul ennemi au monde. »

The words of Saint Exupéry can be put in the mouth of Sherif Ali or the bedouin Auda abu Tayi of Lawrence of Arabia fame, when honor between men was their words more valuable than any piece of paper and when brotherhood was beyond skin color, religion or blood.
