The Little Prince

"In matters of consequence, it is the heart that counts."

"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step."

"The greatest gift you can give someone is your time."

"If you come at four in the afternoon, I'll begin to be happy."

"They have forgotten why the flowers matter."

"Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies."

"In one of those days, if someone comes and tells you that a new flower that smells wonderfully and looks lovely has been seen somewhere, your heart will jump for joy."

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

"Perhaps I ought to try to go back to where I came from."

"The stars are beautiful because of a flower you cannot see."

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

"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."

"You're beautiful, but you're empty. One couldn't die for you."

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

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly."

"People have forgotten this truth, but you mustn't forget it."

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

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

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

"One sees clearly only with the heart."

"What is essential is invisible to the eye."

"The time you wasted on your rose makes your rose so important."

"To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys."

"One cannot be unhappy when one has a flower."

"I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn't much improved my opinion of them."

"The house, the stars, the desert—what endows them with their beauty is something that is invisible."

"It took me a long time to learn where she came from."

"I should have understood her through her actions, not her words."

"The wind in the wheat says that man has passed by."

"A person is a person through other persons."
