But

at this moment it became clear to her that the only thing powerful enough to transform people into brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, is the ability to forgive each other. That what really gets handed down from generation to generation isn't blood or history, but the will to forgive.

Weird

We are all a little weird,

and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,

we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness

and call it love.

The Little Prince

It was then that the fox appeared.

"come and play with me," proposed the little prince.
"I am so unhappy."

"I cannot play with you," the fox said. "I am not tamed."

"What do you mean--'tame'?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish tie."

"'To establish ties'?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world...

And then look, you see the grain- fields down yonder? The wheat fields have nothing to say to me. And that is sad. But you have hair that is the color of gold. Think how wonderful that will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat...."

The fox gazed at the little prince, for a long time.

"please tame--me!" he said.


"What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince.

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.

So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near---

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

"It is your own fault," said the little prince.

"I never wished you any sort of harm, but you wanted me to tame you..."

"Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

"Yes, that is so," said the fox.

"Then it has done you no good at all!"

"It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields."

"Goodbye," said the fox. "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."

Patient

"You must be very patient," replied the fox.

"First you will sit down at a little distance from me--like that--in the grass.

I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye,

and you will say nothing.

Words are the source of misunderstandings.

But you will sit a little closer to me, every day..."
