The Little Prince

"The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen."

"I am who I am and I cannot pretend to be what I am not."

"You see, one loves the sunset, when one is so sad."

"My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world."

"I ought not to have listened to her. One should never listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their scent."

"If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists in all the millions and millions of stars, that is enough to make him happy."

"What have you done to console yourself in your loneliness?"

"One must not forget that when a lamp is lit, it is as if one of the stars is set alight, or one of the flowers."

"The terrible thing about learning is that it doesn't stop."

"It is love that binds us together."

"The drunkard drinks that he may forget he is ashamed."

"You decide whether you will be a prince or not."

"My flowers have always told me they were unique in all the universe."

"But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses."

"The stars make the desert beautiful. Because they hide a well somewhere."

"One cannot be master of what one does not understand."

"But she was my rose; I was responsible for her."

"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing."

"I am looking for friends. What does that mean—tame?"

"The stars are beautiful, because of a flower that cannot be seen."

"If you love a flower, don't pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love."

"A man is never too old to learn something new."

"I have lived a lot. I have loved and I have loved strongly."

"The well we saw was not just a well. It was the well of my life."

"I love the sunset. Let us go look at the sunset."

"There is a flower on my planet. She is the only one of her kind in all the millions of worlds."

"But when a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey."

"Adults are very strange."

"Judge yourself with the strictness of a teacher, but treat yourself with the kindness of a friend."

"I am so alone."
