Goodbye, he said.
The beauty did not answer.
“Goodbye,” repeated the Little Prince.
She coughed. But not from a cold.
“I was stupid,” she said finally. - I'm sorry. And try to be happy.
And not a word of reproach. The little prince was very surprised. He froze, embarrassed and confused, with a glass cap in his hands. Where does this quiet tenderness come from?
“Yes, yes, I love you,” he heard. - It's my fault that you didn't know this. Yes, it doesn’t matter. But you were just as stupid as me. Try to be happy... Leave the cap, I don’t need it anymore.
- But the wind...
- I’m not that cold... The freshness of the night will do me good. After all, I am a flower.
- But animals, insects...
- I must tolerate two or three caterpillars if I want to get acquainted with butterflies. They must be lovely. Otherwise, who will visit me? You'll be far away. But I'm not afraid of big animals. I also have claws.
And she, in the simplicity of her soul, showed her four thorns. Then she added:
- Don’t wait, it’s unbearable! If you decide to leave, then leave.
She didn't want the Little Prince to see her cry. It was a very proud flower...

You know... my rose... I am responsible for her. And she is so weak! And so simple-minded. All she has is four measly thorns; she has nothing else to protect herself from the world...

- I know one planet, there lives one gentleman with a purple face. He had never smelled a flower in his entire life. I never looked at a star. He never loved anyone. And he never did anything. He is busy with only one thing: he adds numbers. And from morning to night he repeats one thing: “I am a serious person! I’m a serious person!” - just like you. And he's literally swelled with pride. But in reality he is not a person. He's a mushroom.

Quotes

It's good where we are not.

You need to appreciate what you have, in pursuit of “it’s good there”, you can lose what you have...

If there is nothing or no one to compare with, then it seems that this is the limit of perfection.

It's stupid to lie when you can be caught so easily.

In order not to be caught in your own lies, it is better to always tell the truth.

You can only learn those things that you tame.

Only those close to you can be solved.

When I was six years old, adults convinced me that I would not be an artist, and I learned to draw nothing except boa constrictors - outside and inside.

Convincing from childhood of the lack of talent, without allowing it to manifest itself, is the most monstrous act that parents are capable of.

All you have to do is move the chair a few steps. And you look at the sunset sky again and again, if you just want to...

You can get a lot of things in life, the main thing is to want...

It's in vain that you come with me. It will hurt you to look at me. You'll think I'm dying, but that's not true...

There is nothing worse in life than seeing loved ones die.

My friend never explained anything to me. Maybe he thought I was just like him.

Friends don't have to explain everything in words. They can do this with thoughts.

And people lack imagination. They only repeat what you tell them...

Lack of imagination makes our life very boring and dull.

But, unfortunately, I don’t know how to see the lamb through the walls of the box. Maybe I'm a little like the adults. I guess I'm getting old.

The ability to see something unusual in the simplest things is characteristic mainly of children. Adults don't have the imagination for this.

When you really want to make a joke, sometimes you inevitably lie.

Well, or not that you will lie, but slightly embellish. It sounds more harmless...)))

Vain people always think that everyone admires them.

At the same time, they may simply be despised...

When you tell adults: “I saw a beautiful house made of pink brick, there are geraniums in the windows and pigeons on the roof,” they cannot imagine this house. You need to tell them: “I saw a house for a hundred thousand francs,” and then they exclaim: “what a beauty!”

For adults, everything is measured by money. Everything, even beauty.

People get on fast trains, but they themselves don’t understand what they are looking for, said the Little Prince. “That’s why they don’t know peace and rush in one direction, then in the other...

To go in the right direction, you need to know what you want from life.

You should never listen to what flowers say. You just have to look at them and breathe in their scent.

Sometimes words are meaningless. Appearance and smell will tell a lot more.

“You are beautiful, but empty,” continued the Little Prince. - I won’t want to die for your sake. Of course, a random passerby, looking at my rose, will say that it is exactly the same as you. But she alone is dearer to me than all of you.

If you want to die for something, then it is priceless.

After all, it was her, not you, that I watered every day. He covered her, not you, with a glass cover. He blocked it with a screen, protecting it from the wind. I killed caterpillars for her, leaving only two or three so that the butterflies hatched. I listened to how she complained and how she boasted, I listened to her even when she fell silent. She is mine.

You love when you put your soul into it...

Only children know what they are looking for. They devote all their days to a rag doll, and it becomes very, very dear to them, and if it is taken away from them, the children cry...

And only adults are always uncertain and never know exactly what they want in this life.

Don't wait, it's unbearable! If you decide to leave, then leave.

The thought of separation is unbearable.

We all come from childhood.

Only adult life takes away the feeling of beauty, carelessness, and sincerity.

Your rose is so dear to you because you gave it your whole soul.

When you devote all of yourself to something, it becomes the meaning of your whole life...

I'm sorry. And try to be happy!…

The most important thing is to understand that the one you love is happy.

I didn't want you to get hurt. You yourself wanted me to tame you.

Sometimes attachment causes unbearable pain.

Yes, yes, I love you. It's my fault that you didn't know this.

You should never be silent about your feelings.

Vain people are deaf to everything except praise.

This is their main problem.

For all these people the stars are mute. And you will have very special stars...

If you love nature, then it will speak to you...

I didn’t understand anything then! It was necessary to judge not by words, but by deeds. She gave me her scent and illuminated my life. I shouldn't have run. Behind these pitiful tricks and tricks one had to guess the tenderness. The flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young, I didn’t know how to love yet.

The ability to love comes with age.

The fairy tale-parable The Little Prince returns adults to a carefree childhood, where everything was so sincere, and spiritual values ​​prevailed over material wealth. Share quotes and catchphrases from the brilliant work of Exupery - remind your friends what you really need to value in this life.

After all, all adults were children at first, but few of them remember this.

Adults never understand anything themselves, and for children it is very tiring to endlessly explain and explain everything to them.

In my time I have met a lot of different serious people. I lived among adults for a long time. I saw them very close. And, to be honest, this didn’t make me think any better about them.

This time he was dressed in the latest fashion, and everyone agreed with him.

When you tell adults: “I saw a beautiful house made of pink brick, there are geraniums in the windows, and pigeons on the roof,” they cannot imagine this house. You have to tell them: “I saw a house for a hundred thousand francs,” and then they exclaim: “What a beauty!”

These are the kind of people these adults are. You shouldn't be angry with them. Children should be very lenient towards adults.

But we, those who understand what life is, we, of course, laugh at numbers and numbers!

It's very sad when friends are forgotten.

Not everyone has a friend.

And I'm afraid of becoming like adults who are not interested in anything except numbers.

And on the planet of the Little Prince there are terrible, evil seeds... these are the seeds of the baobabs. The entire soil of the planet is contaminated with them. And if the baobab is not recognized in time, then you will no longer be able to get rid of it. He will take over the entire planet.

“There is such a firm rule,” the Little Prince told me later. - Get up in the morning, wash your face, put yourself in order - and immediately put your planet in order. It is imperative to weed out baobabs every day, as soon as they can be distinguished from rose bushes: their young shoots are almost identical.

If a lamb eats bushes, does it also eat flowers?
- He eats everything he can find.
- Even flowers that have thorns?
- Yes, and those with thorns.
- Then why the spikes?

Why are spikes needed?
- The thorns are not needed for any reason, the flowers release them simply out of anger.
- I don’t believe you! The flowers are weak. And simple-minded. And they try to give themselves courage. They think that if they have thorns, everyone is afraid of them...

Flowers have been growing thorns for millions of years. And for millions of years, lambs still eat flowers. So isn't it a serious matter to understand why they try their best to grow thorns if there are no thorns?
no use? Is it really not important that lambs and flowers fight each other?

What if I know the only flower in the world, it grows only on my planet, and there is no other like it anywhere else, and one fine morning a little lamb suddenly picks it up and eats it and doesn’t even know what he’s done? And all this, in your opinion, is not important?

If you love a flower - the only one that is no longer on any of the many millions of stars, that's enough: you look at the sky and feel happy. And you say to yourself: “My flower lives there somewhere...” But if the lamb eats it, it’s the same as if all the stars went out at once! And this, in your opinion, does not matter!

I felt terribly awkward and clumsy. I didn’t know how to call so that he could hear, how to catch up with his soul, which was eluding me... After all, it is so mysterious and unknown, this country of tears.

She carefully selected the colors. She dressed up slowly, trying on the petals one by one. She did not want to come into the world disheveled, like some kind of poppy. She wanted to appear in all the splendor of her beauty. Yes, she was a terrible coquette!

Mysterious preparations continued day after day. And finally, one morning, as soon as the sun rose, the petals opened.
And the beauty, who had put so much effort into preparing for this moment, said, yawning:
- Oh, I woke up forcibly... Please excuse me... I’m still completely disheveled...
The little prince could not contain his delight:
- How beautiful you are!

The little prince, of course, guessed that the amazing guest did not suffer from an excess of modesty, but she was so beautiful that it was breathtaking!

“I listened to her in vain,” he once told me trustingly. “You should never listen to what flowers say.” You just have to look at them and breathe in their scent. My flower filled my entire planet with fragrance, but I did not know how to rejoice at it.

I didn’t understand anything then! It was necessary to judge not by words, but by deeds. She gave me her scent and illuminated my life. I shouldn't have run. Behind these pitiful tricks and tricks I should have guessed tenderness. The flowers are so inconsistent! But I was too young, I didn’t know how to love yet.

I must tolerate two or three caterpillars if I want to meet butterflies. They must be lovely.

If I order some general to flutter like a butterfly from flower to flower, or to compose a tragedy, or to turn into a sea gull, and the general does not carry out the order, who will be to blame for this - him or me?

Absolutely right,” confirmed the king. “Everyone must be asked what he can give.” Power must first of all be reasonable.

You will also have sunset. I will demand the sun to go down. But first I will wait for favorable conditions, for this is the wisdom of the ruler.

Then judge yourself, said the king. - This is the most difficult thing. It is much more difficult to judge yourself than others. If you can judge yourself correctly, then you are truly wise.

“I can judge myself anywhere,” said the Little Prince. “There’s no need for me to stay with you for this.”

After all, vain people think that everyone admires them.

But the ambitious man did not hear. Vain people are deaf to everything except praise.

Great activity. It's really useful because it's beautiful

And yet, of all of them, he is the only one, in my opinion, who is not funny. Maybe because he thinks not only about himself

We don’t celebrate flowers,” said the geographer.
- Why?! This is the most beautiful thing!
- Because flowers are ephemeral.

“My beauty and joy are short-lived,” the Little Prince said to himself, “and she has nothing to defend herself from the world, she only has four thorns.” And I abandoned her, and she was left all alone on my planet!
