But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three for butterflies). Since she's the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.'"
- "Here is my secret: it's quite simple. One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."
- "As his lips parted in a half smile, I said to myself, What moves me so deeply about this sleeping little prince is his loyalty to a flow... And I realized he was even more fragile ...

- "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."
