The Little Prince:



Little Prince is one of my favorite books ... Written by Antoine de Saint Exupery at the beginning of this century, this tale is the story of a little blond boy that meets an adult with who he will become friend, somewhere in the world...
He discovers, during a trip, adults, who will allow him to understand adults' world and life on earth. Little prince is in love with a rose, look after a sheep and reign on a small planet on the solary system .

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

"One never ought to listen to the flowers. One should simply look at them and breathe their fragrance.
Mine perfumed all my planet. But I did not know how to take pleasure in all her grace.
This tale of claws, which disturbed me so much, should only have filled my heart with tenderness and pity."


"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."

“When you find a diamond that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you discover an island that belongs to nobody, it is yours. When you get an idea before any one else, you take out a patent on it: it is yours. So with me: I own the stars, because nobody else before me ever thought of owning them.”

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

“One only understands the things that one tames. Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, and so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me…”


“Then you shall judge yourself. That is the most difficult thing of all. It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.”
