Цитаты из книги «The Little Prince»

But if a lamb eats the flower, all the stars will instantly

“My flower is somewhere there…”

“For millions of years, flowers have been growing thorns. The same as lambs have been eating them. Isn’t it an important thing to know why the flowers try so hard to grow the thorns if there is no point? Isn’t it more important than the adding process of the red-faced gentleman? If I personally know one little flower that grows only on my planet and nowhere else, and it can be destroyed by one lamb that will swallow it one morning without noticing what he had done. Ah! Do you think it’s not important!?”

“You are talking like adults!” It made me ashamed. Without mercy, he went on.

I told you the first thing I could think of. Can’t you see I am busy with important stuff?”

“If I don’t unscrew this bolt I am going to beat it with a hammer.”

“I don’t believe you! Flowers are weak creatures. They are naïve.

“Were you very sad when you watched the sunset forty-four times?” But the Little Prince didn’t reply.
