“Here is my secret. It's quite simple:
One sees clearly only with the heart.
Anything essential is invisible to the eyes.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Luceo Non Uro. ‘I shine, not burn,”
― Diana Gabaldon, Cross Stitch

“But certainly, for us who understand life, figures are a matter of indifference. I should have liked to begin this story in the fashion of the fairy-tales. I should have like to say: "Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who had need of a sheep . . ." To those who understand life, that would have given a much greater air of truth to my story.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The little Prince
