Into the book
The next day the little prince came back to see the fox.

“It would have been better if you had come at the same time as yesterday.”
The fox said.
“For example, if you come at 4 p.m., I will be excited from 3 p.m.
As 4 o'clock approaches, I will become happier and happier.
When 4 o'clock comes, my heart starts pounding, I start fidgeting and worrying.
You'll learn the price of happiness! But if you come at any time, there's no way to know when to start preparing your heart.
You must remain conscious… … .”
“What is ‘consciousness’?”
The little prince asked.
“That’s something people forget and live with.

“All adults were once children.
But most people don't remember their childhood.”

“The reason the desert is beautiful is because somewhere it hides a well.”

A message of life and hope for "embarrassing adults."

Saint-Exupéry, who constantly wandered and suffered in a world that did not allow purity.
He couldn't change the world, but he wanted to create hope, and he portrayed the life he longed for and hoped for in 'The Little Prince.'
The people the little prince meets on his journey from the asteroid to Earth - a powerful king, a vain man, a drunkard, a merchant, a lamplighter, and a geographer - show him the contradictions of the world.
The power, vanity, self-abuse, and material possessions they possess are packaged as if they were the truth of life, regardless of generation.
There are many contradictions, especially on Earth, the final destination of the journey.
Saint-Exupéry sent the Little Prince to this Earth to spread dreams and hope.
