"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The book explores themes of love, friendship, the loss of innocence, and the importance of connecting with others on a deeper level. It encourages readers to see the world with childlike wonder, to cherish the simple things in life, and to value human connections above material possessions.
These quotes capture some of the profound and insightful thoughts from "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is exhausting for children to have to provide explanations over and over again."
"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
"One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."
"All grown-ups were once children, but only a few of them remember it."
"You're beautiful, but you're empty...One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass, since she's the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose."
"Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies."
"But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart."
"What makes the desert beautiful," said the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well..."
