The Little Prince is written and illustrated by Antoine de Saint Exupéry from France, it's a nice book for all to share...
There are some lines in the book which I love to share with... "If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, 'Somewhere, my flower is there . . .' " "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. 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. 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 . . ." "The men where you live, raise five thousand roses in the same garden--and they do not find in it what they are looking for. And yet what they are looking for could be found in one single rose, or in a little water. But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart . . ." "The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen . . . It is just as it is with the flower. 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 . . . 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 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!" "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." Lovely lines isn't it... If you treasure something, that something will be meaningful to you, is not that amount or value that made you treasured, it's the bond that you shared made you treasure it... I love the stars lines.... If you look at the stars knowing that one of the millions of stars had memories with someone who you treasure, then you will smile looking at the stars even if you do not know which is the actual one... Hope you all like it too... and treasure things around you... [feeling-abandoned]__ Shizel at 3/19/2005 10:47:00 AM
