The Little Prince

by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

people who understand life are not bothered about numbers!

Nunbers quote

‘To me, you’re just a little boy exactly like a hundred thousand other little boys. I don’t need you, and you don’t need me. To you, I’m a fox who’s exactly like a hundred thousand other foxes. But, if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you’ll be absolutely unique, and to you, I’ll be absolutely unique.’

‘When you look at the sky at night, because I’ll be living on one of them, because I’ll be laughing on one of them, to you it will sound as if all the stars are laughing. You will have stars that can laugh!’ And he laughed again. ‘And when you have found consolation – as people always do – you will be glad to have known me. You will always be my friend. You’ll want to laugh with me. And sometimes you will open your window, just like that, for the pleasure . . . and your friends will be astonished to see you looking at the sky and laughing. Then you’ll say to them: “Yes, the stars always make me laugh!” and they’ll think you’re mad. What a mischievous trick I’ll have played on you.’
