"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." --Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What Grown Ups Can Learn From Kids' Books
"My copy of Le Petit Prince looks like it has been through a natural disaster. Or two. The dust jacket is torn at every edge. What's not torn is frayed. A piece of scotch tape holds together the e and r of Exupery. The white background can't really be called white anymore. And inside, little pencil markings lurk throughout the text ...The book, in other words, has been well loved. That's not surprising. Most favorite children's books are. But there's one thing about mine that's different ... the damage wasn't sustained in childhood. Those are adult wounds."
