The Little Prince & Letter to a Hostage Quotes

“But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like...

"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"

And a little later you added: "You know, one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..." "Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"

But the little prince made no reply.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince & Letter to a Hostage

“That is the most difficult thing of all. It is far more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself correctly, then you are truly a man of wisdom.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince & Letter to a Hostage

“I am grateful to you for taking me as you find me. What do I want with a friend who judges me? When I welcome someone to my house, if he has a limp I ask him to sit down, not to dance.
So, my friend, I need you as I need a high place where I can breathe freely. I need to sit beside you ... celebrating a smile as calm as the day itself.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, LETTER TO A HOSTAGE AND THE LITTLE PRINCE
