"God grows weary of great kingdoms, but never of little flowers.Where is the fountain that throws up these flowers in a ceaseless outbreak of ecstasy?...We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us..."Rabindranath Tagore

"One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!" And a little later you added: "You know--one loves the sunset, when one is so sad . . ." "Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?" But the little prince made no reply.
