Voici mon secret. Il est tres simple. On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

as coisas mais importantes são muitas vezes invisíveis para os olhos – só com o coração é que podemos vê-las.

Sitting in the flickering light of the candles on this kerchief of sand, on this village square, we waited in the night. We were waiting for the rescuing dawn - or for the Moors. Something, I know not what, lent this night a savor of Christmas. We told stories, we joked, we sang songs. In the air there was that slight fever that reigns over a gaily prepared feast. And yet we were infinitely poor. Wind, sand, and stars. The austerity of Trappists. But on this badly lighted cloth, a handful of men who possessed nothing in the world but their memories were sharing invisible riches.

Even though human life may be the most precious thing on earth, we always behave as if there were something of higher value than human life.
