One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eyes.

On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was a French aviator and writer whose fable 'The Little Prince' has become the most translated non-religious book in history. His aviation memoirs - 'Night Flight,' 'Wind, Sand and Stars' - transformed the experience of early flight into philosophical meditation on courage, responsibility, and human connection.
