“I am looking for friends. What does that mean -- tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. 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....”

“Don't be so humble - you are not that great.”

“I kada se pred tobom otvore mnogi putevi a ti ne budeš znala kojim da kreneš, nemoj poći bilo kojim, nego sedi i sačekaj. Diši duboko ver­ujući u sebe, onako kako si disala onog dana kada si došla na svet; ne doz­voli da ti nešto odvuče pažnju; čekaj, i dalje čekaj. Budi mirna, ćuti i os­luškuj svoje srce. Kad budeš čula njegov glas, ustani i idi kuda te ono vodi.”
― Suzana Tamaro

“People have forgotten this truth," the fox said. "But you mustn’t forget it. You become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed. You’re responsible for your rose.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
