Bayan’s Notes & Highlights

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

37 highlights

“Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet hardly any bigger than he was, and who needed a friend . . .” For those who understand life, that would sound much truer.

Bayan’s Quotes

“Justice is about making them pay for [her] pain. Revenge is making them pay for yours.”

“ التعليم وحده لا يرقى بالناس و لا يجعلهم أفضل مما هم عليه أو أكثر حرية، أو أكثر إنسانية. إن العلم يجعل الناس أكثر قدرة، أكثر كفاءة، أكثر نفعًا للمجتمع. لقد برهن التاريخ على أن الرجال المتعلمين و الشعوب المتعلمة يمكن التلاعب بهم بل يمكن أن يكونوا أيضًا خدامًا للشر، ربما أكثر كفاءة من الشعوب المتخلفة. ”

“إن الدين الخالص والسياسة الخالصة يوجدان فقط على مستوى الأفكار. أما في الحياة العملية فما نشاهده إنما هو مزيج من عناصر مؤلفة منهما معاً , وفي بعض الحالات يستحيل التفريق بينهما.”
