The legendary adult fairy tale and allegorical tale - the most famous work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - was first published on April 6, 1943 in New York and is currently translated into more than 180 languages. It seems that there is no person in the world who does not know a boy with golden hair, living with a rose on a separate planet.
For those who have not read this touching and wise fairy tale-parable for a long time, we have selected the best quotes about love and friendship that will help you look at the world warmer and friendlier:
- All adults were children at first, only few of them remember this.
- It is very sad when friends are forgotten. Not everyone had a friend.
- People get on fast trains, but they themselves do not understand what they are looking for. Therefore, they do not know peace and rush to one side, then to the other ... And all in vain.
- You live in your actions, not in your body. You are your actions and there is no other you.
- There is such a firm rule. I got up in the morning, washed myself, put myself in order - and immediately put your planet in order.
- - Better always come at the same hour, - asked the Fox. - For example, if you come at four o'clock, I will feel happy from three o'clock. And the closer to the appointed hour, the happier. And if you come every time at a different time, I do not know for what time to prepare your heart ... You need to observe the rituals.
- Adults never understand anything themselves, and it is very tiring for children to endlessly explain and explain everything to them.
- - On your planet, - said the little prince, - people grow five thousand roses in one garden ... and do not find what they are looking for ...
“They don’t find it,” I agreed.
- But what they are looking for can be found in a single rose ... - - And where are the people? - The little prince spoke again at last. - It's so lonely in the desert ...
- It's lonely among people too. - People no longer have enough time to learn anything. They buy clothes ready-made in stores. But there are no shops where they trade with friends, and therefore people no longer have friends.
- When you say to adults: “I saw a beautiful red brick house with geraniums in the windows, and pigeons on the roof,” they cannot imagine this house. They should be told: "I saw a house for a hundred thousand francs." And then they exclaim: "What a beauty!"
- Adults are very fond of numbers. When you tell them that you have a new friend, they never ask about the most important thing. They will never say: “What is his voice? What games does he like to play? Does he catch butterflies? " They ask: “How old is he? How many brothers does he have? How much does he weigh? How much does his father earn? " And after that they imagine that they have recognized the person.
- You just need to move the chair a few steps. And you look at the sunset sky again and again, if you just want to.
- - If you want you to have a friend, tame me!
- And what should be done for this? - asked the little prince.
“We must be patient,” replied the Fox. “First sit down over there, at a distance, on the grass. Like this. I will glance at you sideways, and you be silent. But every day sit a little closer ... - You are forever responsible for the one you tamed.
- - Once I saw the sunset forty-three times in one day!
And after a while he added:
- You know ... when it's very sad, it's good to watch the sun go down ...
- So, on the day when you saw forty-three sunsets, you were very sad? - Words only interfere with understanding each other.
- - You are beautiful, but empty, - continued the little prince. “I don’t want to die for you. Of course, a casual passer-by, looking at my rose, will say that it is exactly the same as you. But she alone is dearer to me than all of you. After all, it was her, and not you, I watered every day. He covered her, not you, with a glass cover.It was obscured by a screen, protecting it from the wind. For her, he killed caterpillars, only left two or three to hatch butterflies. I listened to her complaining and bragging, I listened to her even when she was silent. She is mine.
- I wonder why the stars shine. Probably, so that sooner or later everyone could again find their own.
- You should never listen to what the flowers say. You just have to look at them and breathe their aroma. My flower gave a fragrance to my entire planet, but I did not know how to rejoice in it.
- It's good when you have a friend, even if you have to die.
- Love is when nothing is ashamed, nothing is scary, do you understand? When you are not let down, you will not be betrayed. When they believe.
- He did not answer any of my questions, but when you blush, it means yes, doesn't it?
- If you love a flower - the only one that is no longer on any of the many millions of stars, this is enough: you look at the sky and feel happy. And you say to yourself: "Somewhere out there my flower lives ..."

Many of us studied the philosophical story "The Little Prince" at school. Someone understood everything stated by Antoine de Saint-Exupery too superficially, someone revealed instructive things for themselves, but only an adult with great life experience is able to fully understand the parable. Despite its seeming childishness, The Little Prince is an allegorical, philosophical tale with a surprisingly subtle meaning.
Today we have collected for you excerpts from this amazing work that will help you understand yourself, the world around you and people.
