Saint-Exupery Quote Of The Day

I recently received  a copy of A Guide for Grown-ups: Essential Wisdom from the Collected Works of Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I absolutely adore his work, and his philosophies couldn't be any better.

So, I decided that I would do a daily quote of his to share all his wisdom with my Gather friends, too! Oh, and for those of you who can read French, I posted the original quote (Saint-Exupery was French, thus all of his originals are French). I believe strongly that a lot is lost in translation when you go from one language to the next, so Exupery's words, in English, aren't as beautiful as they are in French, but the meaning is still there just the same. :)

"Si tu aimes une fleur qui se trouve dans une étoile, c'est doux, la nuit, de regarder le ciel. Toutes les étoiles sont fleuries."
