"The little prince was now white with rage . . . His face turned from white to red as he continued: 'If one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself: 'Somewhere, my flower is there...' But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened... And you think that is not important!'

He could not say anything more. His words were choked by sobbing."

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery
