Such an irony. Very much like roles reversed. It seems it is the grown-ups who now have to go to children to find meaning and reconnect with what matters. This is because grown-ups have their interests set on the things they would term the matters of consequence. They have simply got their list of priorities upside down. Children now have the expla...
The boy’s thoughts after this little person said to draw him a sheep, a second time. This quote has something to do with fate. Sometimes, one may not fully understand something yet but has to act fast anyway. Instincts should not be completely ignored. In fact, they should guide us. For someone with a good sense of judgment, that person’s instincts...
When the little prince cries, after getting angry at the boy, the boy sees things from his perspective and takes him in his arms. He doesn’t know what else to do, because tears are such a private thing, and ‘it is such a secret place, the land of tears.’ People cry to the extent they have been hurt. It is hard to know, and it is hard to tell exactl...
This quote from Chapter 9 reminds us that sometimes, people need to pass through a process to get to a better place. Life comes in stages. The butterfly was once a caterpillar. Sometimes, to get to a good place, one has to navigate a not-so-pleasant phase. The flower resolves within and without, to deal with the caterpillars and tolerate their exce...
These are the words of the king on one of the planets the little prince visited. He even goes further; the king in his little planet, thus- Accepted authority rests first of all on reason. This was his response to the little prince’s request to be shown the sunset. Implying- to wait for a favorable time, for that is beyond his control. That is a ve...
This one from Chapter 10 is precise and powerful. It should make one reflect. Arrogant people are too self-absorbed to notice things going on around them. Conceit just has a way of shutting people’s eyes to what matters. Conceited people are emotionally blind or bereft. They are simply aloof. This quote was referring to the conceited man in Antoine...
That one’s a mouthful- the little prince’s reaction to the businessman who built castles in the air, counting stars to own. Wow, what a blow! Relationships should be mutually beneficial, not just one party taking, taking, and taking. If something or someone is of use to you, what use are you to that thing or person? It mustn’t be equal halves, but ...
The fox’s words in Chapter 21 while having a conversation with the little prince. If you aren’t intentional about getting to know someone, you will never understand them- who or what they are, why they do what they do, and why they behave the way they behave. And, I agree with the fox when he says, to understand a thing, one must first tame it.
The Fox’s words in Chapter 21. This one does not need much explanation. Basically, what is within, is often greater than what is without. The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched; they are felt with the heart. The heart does not lie. We should learn to look more with our hearts. We should learn to shut off the noise so we ca...
This quote is also from Chapter 21, and this one is saying that the time people spend on things almost always shows how important those things are to them. That time you think you are wasting, spending on something or someone you love, is anything but a waste. It is your way of showing you love that thing or that person.
