Quote #2094 about Love by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"If some one loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He tells himself, "My flower's up there somewhere. . . ." But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?"by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
