It is always in the midst, in the epicenter, of your troubles that you find serenity.

The line proposes a paradox: serenity is not found by escaping difficulty but by entering it fully and locating a still point within the storm. Read this way, “epicenter” suggests the place of maximum pressure—where fear, responsibility, and uncertainty concentrate—yet also the place where one can act most decisively. The quote implies that calm is an inner discipline born of engagement, not avoidance: when you stop fleeing and confront what must be done, anxiety can give way to clarity. It resonates with Saint-Exupéry’s recurring themes of duty, risk, and meaning forged through ordeal, even if this exact wording may be a later paraphrase.
