Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s allegorical story has fascinated me since childhood. But in adulthood it has taken on a new color. An unrepeatable color, I would say.

The paper has been translated into over 180 languages ​​and I do not know if there is at least one man in the world who has remained indifferent after this reading. Here are 20 quotes that will convince you to (re) read it as soon as possible.

Beautiful quotes from Little Prince

#1. The people of your lands, said the little prince, grow five thousand roses in one garden… and still can’t find what they are looking for…
# 2. You never have to worry about flowers. You just have to look at them and smell them. My flower smells like the planet, but I didn’t know how to enjoy it.
#3. People, said the little prince, get stuck in their fast trains, but they don’t know what they’re looking for either. So they knead and twist from side to side.
#4. After waking up in the morning, you have to be careful about the planet.
#5. “It would have been better if you had come at the same time today,” said the fox. If, for example, you come at four o’clock in the afternoon, I will start to be happy from three o’clock. And the more time passes, the happier I will feel. At four o’clock, I will be overwhelmed by anxiety and anxiety: I will discover how much happiness is precious! But if you come at random, I will never know at what hour to adorn my soul. We need rites.

# 11. Older people like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask you questions about the things that really matter. He never asks, “What sound does his voice have
? What games does he like best? He
makes
a collection of butterflies.
” But he asks, “How old is he?
How
many brothers does
he have?

# 12. If you say to old people, “I saw a beautiful house, made of rose bricks, with geraniums on the windows and pigeons on the roof,” they are not able to imagine what such a house looks like. You have to tell them, “I saw a house that cost a hundred thousand francs.” “How beautiful she is!” they will exclaim then.
# 13. If you really want to have a friend, tame me!
“What do I have to do,”
said the little prince.
“You must be very patient,” said the fox. At first, you’ll sit a little farther away from me in the grass. I will look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Speech is a source of misunderstanding. But you will be able to sit closer and closer to me every day
# 14. “People have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. But you must not forget him. You always become responsible for what you tame. You are responsible for your own flower.

# 16. “You’re beautiful, but you’re deserted,” he told them. No one would have to die for you. My flower, of course, an ordinary passer-by would think it’s like you. But she alone is more precious than all of you together, because I sheltered her under the glass bell. Because I protected her with the screen. Because for her I killed the caterpillars (except for a few, for butterflies). Because I listened to her complain, or brag, or sometimes even shut up.

# 20. When someone loves a flower as only one is among the millions and millions of stars, this is enough for him, looking at them, to be happy. “My flower,” he says to himself, “is somewhere in there
. ” Love is when you are not ashamed of anything, you are not afraid of anything, you understand
When they will not betray you, they will not disappoint you. When they trust.
