Quotations from the best book in the universe, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery:"Draw me a sheep..."
"...those of us who understand life couldn't care less about numbers!"
"You know, when you're feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful..."
"But I was too young to know how to love her."
"For she didn't want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower..."
"...for kings, the world is extremely simplified: All men are subjects."
"...if I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine."
"That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you are truly a wise man."
"Grown-ups are so strange..."
"Vain men never hear anything but praise."
"Drinking...to forget that I'm ashamed...of drinking!"
"What the little prince dared not admit was that he most regretted leaving that planet because it was blessed with one thousand, four hundred forty sunsets every twenty-four hours!"
"My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns with which to defend herself against the world! And I've left her all along where I live!"
"I thought I was rich because I had just one flower, and all I own is an ordinary rose. That and my three volcanoes, which come up to my knee, one of which may be permanently extinct. It doesn't make me much of a prince..."
"What does tamed mean?"
"You're lovely, but you're empty. One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three for butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's MY rose."
"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."
"What makes the desert beautiful is that it hides a well somewhere..."
"People start out in express trains, but they no longer know what they're looking for."
"...eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart."
"You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed."
"You know, my flower, I'm responsible for her. And she's so weak! And so naive. She has four ridiculous thorns to defend her against the world..."
"He fell gently, the way a tree falls. There wasn't even a sound, because of the sand."
