You will have five hundred million little bells, and I shall... - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

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

"Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies."

"People have forgotten this truth,"the fox said. "But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose."

"I wonder,” he said, “whether the stars are set alight in heaven so that one day each one of us may find his own again..."

"I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed."
