The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Here’s a charming story about a little prince who falls to earth from Asteroid B-612. What kind of little prince is he? He’s a lonely little prince. He’s in need of a friend, and so he sets off on a journey across the planets to see who he can find.

It’s a trail of disappointment really. There’s the absolute monarch, the conceited individual, the drunkard, and the businessman. They are all too wrapped up in their own affairs to consider to be the little prince’s friend:

‘What are you doing here?’ he said to the drunkard whom he found sitting silently in front of a collection of bottles, some empty and some full. ‘I am drinking,’ answered the drunkard lugubriously. ‘Why are you drinking?’ the little prince asked. 'In order to forget,’ replied the drunkard. 'To forget what?’ enquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him. 'To forget that I am ashamed,’ the drunkard confessed, hanging his head. 'Ashamed of what?’ asked the little prince who wanted to help him. 'Ashamed of drinking!’ concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence. And the little prince went away, puzzled. 'Grown-ups really are very, very odd,’ he said to himself as he continued his journey.

But he meets a very special kind of grown-up when he finally lands on planet earth. Right in the middle of the desert is Antoine de Saint-Exupery who has crash-landed in his aeroplane. They seem to understand each other right away, as much from what isn’t said as from what is said. They don’t have very long together, for each of them must go back home in his own way. Antoine de Saint-Exupery can mend his aeroplane, but the little prince’s home is much further away. He cannot take his body back with him. It is much too heavy. He finds his own way to travel back home with the help of the snake:

“Whomever I touch I send back to the earth from which they came …”

But before the prince and the airman part they learn to share a lot of simple joy together, like the pleasure of looking at a single flower, or taking a drink of water when you are really thirsty:

'The men where you live,’ said the little prince, 'grow five thousand roses in the same garden … and they do not find what they are looking for …’ 'They do not find it,’ I replied. 'And yet, what they are looking for could be found in a single rose or in a little water.’ 'Yes, indeed,’ I replied.

And the little prince added: 

'But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.’

There are many ways to read this book. You can take it as a straight-forward story about a charming little prince who wants a friend, or you can think more deeply about the way the little prince chooses to live his life. It’s a very sad story, too.

Some of my favourite quotes - 

Here’s a little inspiration to tell your love how you really feel.

Here’s the thing about love: It’s hard to put into words.

Love brings up emotions that run the gamut from agony to ecstasy. Love can inspire us to accomplish some of the craziest and most amazing feats.

Love can make you happier than you’ve ever been, sadder than you’ve ever been, angrier than you’ve ever been. It can elate you and deflate you almost at the same time.

While we can all pretty much recognize the emotions associated with love, actually finding the words to explain those feelings is a pretty tough order.

People have searched for centuries to find the right way to say “I love you” and to try to explain those butterflies in your stomach, that warm fuzzy feeling in your belly and that heart skipping a beat.

One thing we DO know is that whether you’ve love and won — or loved and lost, it’s ALWAYS worth it.

While there are plenty of non-verbal ways to express your love, finding that perfect love quote that sums up exactly what you’re feeling can be pretty amazing.

Luckily, some the world’s greatest artists, poets, musicians and hopeless romantics (like ourselves) have managed to articulate the magic of loveusing words so simple and perfect, sharing them can mean the world.

Here are 50 of the best love quotes you will find online, perfect for sharing with that special someone. 

We couldn’t have put these inspirational phrases better ourselves.
