Antoine de Saint-Exupery, “The Little Prince”
Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters. They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand: "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.

I do believe that if you haven't learnt about sadness...Propaganda must appeal to mankind's better judgment...The people are the only legitimate fountain of power...A good marriage would be between a blind...What lies behind you and what lies in front of you...Don't be scared to fly high, 'cause it will inspire others...
