madness smoke poem brewster dream memories jumpers tv little prince dfw doodle


this is one of my favourite stories..

the essence of it is contained in the famous line uttered by the fox to the little prince :

"on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux"

which means :

"it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye"




THE LITTLE PRINCE

written and illustrated by
Antoine de Saint Exupéry



TO LEON WERTH

I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown-up. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown-up grew. All grown-ups were once children--although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:

TO LEON WERTH
