As a lover of The Little Price, this book was a lovely little book of quotes from The Little Prince and from his other books. It was wonderful to see simple little snipets of wisdom and reflect on them.

Just lovely snippets from a lovely man. Makes you think. Feels honest and true and inspiring to be more and better and truer.

“One’s suffering disappears when one lets oneself go, when one yields - even to sadness.” Southern Mail.

Lessons I wish I’d learned as a child, beautifully crafted and complied into a collection I can reflect on at anytime.

Such a beautiful little book filled with gorgeous quotes by an amazingly talented man. I have learnt so much from such a small book.

"If someone loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars."

"The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried."

"He is who is different from me does not impoverish me- he enriches me. Our unity is constituted in something higher than ourselves- in Man...For no man seeks to hear his own echo, or to find his reflection in the glass."

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction."

Best to read the collected works. Great quotes, but some context is missing....

4.3/5
A short collection of quotes by Saint-Exupery on happiness, friendship, love, responsibility, fortitude, and what is essential

I find myself at a spiritual impasse in my life as I'm reading this and I got to say it does help. The only thing is I just wish it was a real guide in the sense that I really want a manual for life. But whatever spiritual journeys, finding yourself, blah blah. Sometimes I just want to run on autopilot while still doing and saying all the right things. That being said this wasn't a bad book and it set me off looking for more books by the author. His death is mysterious by the way... Anyhow it's a good quick fun read.

Words to mull over and live by.

A quick read over my lunch break at Barnes and Noble, but I did appreciate it and take pictures of some of the quotes to send to my friends and relatives. I think it's a must read if you were a fan of The Little Prince and his other works.

A short book of quotes, you are much better off reading the books they are sourced from
