"So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near — Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

Then it has done you no good at all!"

It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields."

Additional quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Las personas grandes aman las cifras. Cuando les habláis de un nuevo amigo, no os interrogan jamás sobre lo esencial. Jamás os dicen: «¿Cómo es el timbre de su voz? ¿Cuáles son los juegos que prefiere? ¿Colecciona mariposas?» En cambio, os preguntan: «¿Qué edad tiene? ¿Cuántos hermanos
tiene? ¿Cuánto pesa? ¿Cuánto gana su padre?» Sólo entonces creen conocerle.
