Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “The Little Prince”
- One must command from each what each can perform. Authority is based first of all upon reason. If you command your subjects to jump into the ocean, there will be a revolution. I am entitled to command obedience because my orders are reasonable.
- Then my sunset?
- You shall have your sunset. I shall command it. But I shall wait, according to my science of government, until conditions are favorable.

A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures...I was training to be an electrician...I'm a mom, so I have to be comfortable...You want me to press my lips up...When you're succeeding, and you're doing something...In a gentle way, you can shake the world...
