The Little Prince

"Of course I love you. That's not the issue."

"I am so alone."

"One must demand that a king be dignified."

"The important thing is the rose."

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

"Grown-ups love figures."

"The grown-ups prefer numbers."

"You become responsible forever for what you've tamed. You're responsible for your rose."

"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they come back, they were always yours."

"Men have forgotten this truth. But you mustn't forget it."

"The conceited man sees no one but himself."

"What does tame mean?"

"To forget a friend is sad."

"I am a rose. A unique rose in all the world."

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly."

"You're beautiful, but you're empty. No one could die for you."

"If you wish to tame me, you must be patient."

"The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart."

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

"Only the children know what they are looking for."

"Draw me a sheep."

"I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies."

"People have stars, but they aren't the same stars."

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

"I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing, yet something shines silently within the heart."

"One must require from each what each can perform."

"The wise men, they don't give you answers that enable you to see light. They just mimic you and ask you more questions."

"I am who I am and I do what I do."

"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."
