The little prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

THE LITTLE PRINCE - ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY

'When you look at the sky at night, because I'll be living on one of them, because I'll be laughing on one of them, to you it will sound as if all the stars are laughing.'

'A pilot who has crash-landed in the dessert awakes to see an extraordinary little boy. 'Please', asks the stranger, 'will you draw me a little lamb!' Baffled by the little prince's incessant questioning, the pilot pulls out his pencil, and starts to draw. As the little prince's curiosity takes then further on their journey, the pilot is able to piece together an understanding of the tiny planet from which the prince has come and of his incredible travels across the universe.'

'All grown-ups were children once (but most of them have forgotten).'

'Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet not much bigger than himself and was in need of a friend.' 

'This is my secret. It's very simple. You only see clearly with your heart. The most important things are invisible to the eyes.'

I avoided this book for some time because I always thought that I wasn't smart enough to read it and understand it. To some extend that was true. But if you have a big and open mind, anyone can understand what's really underneath the meaning. 

It's an incredible story, that explains all there is to know, everything that is meaningful, in a way not a lot of people can understand, and that is why I wouldn't recommend  this story to someone who after the first page or the description of the book at the back cover or inside, don't understand or are a bit confused because in the end you might not truly understand the beauty and the extreme sense of this book.
