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.

Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow...Personally, I just think rap music is the best...The open street, like the open sea, is an inviting thing...It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society,...The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell...Aren't we all human? Don't we all deserve to be...
