Small and sweet, a perfect companion for my bus ride. Some of my favorite quotes:
"Old friends cannot be created out of hand. Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak." - Wind, Sand and Stars
"Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas." - Flight to Arras
"To know is not to prove, nor to explain. It is to accede to vision." - Flight to Arras

My French teacher gifted all the seniors in our class a copy of this book after we spent months reading and analyzing The Little Prince. Somehow, two years have passed since then and tonight I finally sat down to read it while looking for something quick to read before going to bed. These excerpts are very profound and I enjoyed every second I spent flipping through this book. I bookmarked a lot of the pages too. It’s a quick read, but quite thought-provoking. I also just want to delve into more of Saint-Exupéry’s work now - I do still have a copy of The Little Prince somewhere (en français, of course), I’ll have to reread it sometime. Thank you Madame for those wonderful four years of class :-)
