Additional quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

الكبار يحبون الأرقام، فإذا حدثتهم عن صديق عرفته حديثًا أغفلوا مزاياه الجوهرية ولم يسألوك عن رقة صوته ولا عمّا يؤثر من الألعاب ولا عن رغبته في جمع الفراشات، بل يسألونك: في أي سنة هو، وكم عدد إخوته، وكم وزنه، وكم يربح أبوه؟ فإذا عرفوا كل هذا اعتقدوا أنهم عرفوه.

Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: ‘What does his voice sound like?’ ‘What games does he like best?’ ‘Does he collect butterflies?’ They ask: ‘How old is he?’ ‘How many brothers does he have?’ ‘How much does he weigh?’ ‘How much money does he have?’ Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, ‘I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves at the roof…,’ they won’t be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, ‘I saw a house worth a thousand francs.’ Then they exclaim, ‘What a pretty house!

- C’est le temps que tu a perdu pour ta rose qui fait ta rose si importante.
- C’est le temps que j’ai perdu pour ma rose… fit le petit prince, afin de se souvenir.
- Les hommes ont oublié cette vérité, dit le renard. Mais tu ne dois pas l’oublier. Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé. Tu es responsable de ta rose…
