more of the lil prince

"To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world . . ."

"Only the children know what they are looking for," said the little prince. "They waste their time over a rag doll and it becomes very important to them; and if anybody takes it away from them, they cry . . ."

"You are beautiful, but you are empty, one could not die for you."

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.

I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams . . .

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

"But I was too young to know how to love (her) . . ."

"And at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens . . . they will all be your friends."

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--"

"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night . . . You--only you--will have stars that can laugh!"

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

from the lil prince........

♥ "You know--one loves the sunset, when one is so sad . . ."

♥ It is such a secret place, the land of tears.

♥ The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words.

♥ "Of course I love you, it is my fault that you have not known it all the while. That is of no importance. But you--you have been just as foolish as I. Try to be happy . . ."

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

♥ "So with me: I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them."

♥ When one wishes to play the wit, he sometimes wanders a little from the truth.

♥ 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. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers . . ."

♥ "But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart . . ."

♥ I breathed easily. At sunrise the sand is the color of honey. And that honey color was making me happy, too. What brought me, then, this sense of grief?

♥ And that was true. I have always loved the desert. One sits down on a desert sand dune, sees nothing, hears nothing. Yet through the silence something throbs, and gleams . . .

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

If you love a flower that lives on a star,
It is sweet to look at the stars at night.
All the stars are a-bloom with flowers...
