The Little Prince


Just finished reading "The Litte Prince".

Below are my favorite quotes from the book:

"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and its tiresome for children to have to explain things to them always and forever."

"I'm very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset."

"One never knows."

"Language is the source of misunderstandings."

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"You're beautiful but you're empty. One could not die for you."

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

"Only children know what they are looking for."

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

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


Thanks to henrystrong for the picture.


Special thanks to Elvin for lending me his book.
