Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

(29 June 1900 – 31 July 1944)

"What makes the desert beautiful," said the little prince, "is that somewhere it hides a well..." 


"Az teszi széppé a sivatagot - mondta a kis herceg -, hogy valahol egy kutat rejt..."


"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ...
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."


"Tessék, itt a titkom. Nagyon egyszerű: jól csak a szívével lát az ember. Ami igazán lényeges, az a szemnek láthatatlan. ...
Az idő, amit a rózsádra vesztegettél: az teszi olyan fontossá a rózsádat."
