It’s the birthday of Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the dashing French pilot who wrote Night Flight and Wind, Sand, and Stars–and wrote and illustrated The Little Prince. He was shot down on a reconaissance flight over the Mediterranean in WWII.
Here’s the most famous quote from The Little Prince:
Translated as, “It is only with the heart that one sees rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”
That quote sounds like something from my philosophy class! Nice!
