“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.”

“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

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

"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....”
