The Little Prince

"All grown-ups were once children, although few of them remember it."

"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."

"You become responsible, forever, for what you've tamed."

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"Every person shines with their own light. Like a star"

"One cannot truly know a person in conversation alone"

"I prefer my sorrow to your comfort"

"It is the time you waste that makes something precious"

"The stars are only stars because they cannot be reached"

"Your rose needs you. She is a prisoner of her own beauty"

"If you tame me, you become responsible for me"

"The desert is beautiful because it hides a secret well somewhere"

"I have lived a lot of loneliness"

"Words are a source of misunderstandings"

"It is the ceremony that matters"

"One should never listen to flowers. One should just look at them and breathe their fragrance"

"Night brings sleep and day brings light"

"There is no mystery. There is only what you understand and what you do not understand"

"Arithmetic! That would indeed be something useful to learn!"

"I would like to hear someone laugh again"

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

"Baobabs are enormous trees. With a tree, it's a matter of surgery"

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

"If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is nice to look at the sky"

"It is a matter of discipline"

"The conceited man saw no one but himself"

"To forget a friend is sad. Not everyone has had a friend"

"I shall look as if I am suffering. I shall look as if I am dying"

"Drawing boa constrictors from the outside and the inside—that's what matters"

"My flower is ephemeral, and she has only four thorns to defend herself"
