“Supposing I know of a flower that is absolutely unique, that is nowhere to be found except on my planet, and any minute that flower could accidentally be eaten up by a little lamb, isn't that important? If a person loves a flower that is the only one of its kind on all the millions and millions of stars, then gazing at the night sky is enough to make him happy. He says to himself "My flower is out there somewhere." But if the lamb eats the flower, then suddenly it's as if all the stars had stopped shining. Isn't that important?”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“You are beautiful, but you are empty. One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you --- the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars; because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or bloated, or even sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“أيها المقبلون علي الجحيم تحلوا بالموت فهو فرصتكم كي تخرجوا منه أحياء أيها الغافلون عن الأمل انتبهوا هأنتم علي وشك أن تفقدوه الي غير رجعة أيها المعلقون علي أبواب العدم ليس الوجود لعبة للتخفي , جدوا أنفسكم يفقدها ايها القادمون الي هنا لقد أصبحتم في عداد الراحلين, هدئوا من روعكم قليلا فان الاخطر لم يأت بعد ايها الباكون علي الماضي كفكفوا دموعكم طويلا فان الماضي كان اما الحاضر و المستقبل فلن يكونا ابدا”

“But if you tame me, then we
shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I
shall be unique in all the world.”
