The Little Prince
The Little Prince "You are beautiful, but you are empty," he said again. You can not die for you. Of course, my rose, an ordinary passer-by would think that she resembles you. But it alone is more important than you all, since it is she that I watered. Since it was she whom I placed under the globe, since it was she whom I sheltered by the screen. Since it is she whose caterpillars I have killed (except the two or three for butterflies). Since it is she whom I have listened to, complaining, or boasting, or even sometimes silent. Since it is my rose. "
And he returned to the fox:
"Adieu," he said.
"Good-bye," said the fox. Here is my secret. It is very simple: one sees only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.
"The essential thing is invisible to the eyes," repeated the little prince, in order to remember.
- It's the time you lost for your rose that makes your rose so important.
"It's the time I lost for my rose," said the little prince, in order to remember.
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. But you must not forget it. You become responsible forever for what you have tamed. You're responsible for your rose ...
"I am responsible for my rose," repeated the little prince, in order to remember.
