Quotes from “The Little Prince”

Quote #1: And the fox said to the little prince: men have forgotten
this truth, but you must not forget it. You became responsible,
forever, for what you have tamed.

The quote has numerous meanings, it shows responsibility, time and also
it can be about love with someone, love with your pets and everything connects
with love and relationship.
First, when you tamed and chose to love someone, it means you both
decided to establish that foundation between the two of you. Love needs time,
trust and respect. And from the quote, it says you need to do it forever. All those
things, you need to do it every single time because that’s what you get from
taming someone, it’s a lifetime responsibility. Loving someone is not easy, and
doing it forever is heavy. But I believe when you really love someone, it all
becomes easy and light. It really does make things simple and effortless. I’m not
saying every relationship, but a lot lately, when they have been together for a
long time, sometimes the love disappears, and that is what this quote is
pertaining to, when you love someone, it should be eternally and it shouldn’t
stop, it’s your responsibility to love and trust each other anytime. That’s what
love is really for, to live on continuously.
Finally, what we acquired from this quote is taming someone is not that
easy, you have a huge responsibility at your back forever, it doesn’t stop there,
it just continues to flow like a running water. And to make love long lasting, it
need to fulfil its responsibility.
 Quote #2: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; and
what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Us, humans can see different things through our naked eyes. It allows us
to see how beautiful this world can be. And also allows us to see how cruel this
world can be. Our eyes are truly essential and precious. But do our eyes can
really see everything?
In my understanding, this quote means that not everything can be seen
through eyes, because the most significant things in this world can only be seen
through heart. Hope, courage, love, friendship, passion, grief, anguish and all of
those things cannot be seen with yes because you don’t see it, you feel it
through your deepest part of your being, right in your heart. Those things are
essential in our life especially love and friendship yet it is unseeable in our eyes
because that is life; essential things can only be feel not seen.
This quote can also be used when we meet other people. We tend to judge
them easily using our eyes, it’s so wrong because we cannot judge them just
like that. We don’t know their struggle, doubts and life. But when we try to
know them by our heart instead of eyes, we can see right thoroughly what kind
of person they are. When we use our hearts often, it can help us to know anyone
and it may change our perception in that particular person.
We should always use our hearts no matter what. Our feeling inside is
exceptional and idealistic. What we usually see is not always true and real, try
to look deeply because that’s where the real and authentic things are hidden.
“It’s less what the eyes sees and more what the heart feels.”
 Quote #3: If you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me,
you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all
the world.

We always have that one special person in our heart. We tend to think
and worry of them most of the time. Also, when we love then, we usually help
them effortlessly. And for us, they are one of a kind and different from the rest
of the people. We can clearly see in their eyes their uniqueness.
The quote simply means, when you tame someone or if you’re the one
who’s being tamed, you both need to help and see each other different from the
rest of the world. When we love someone, we should always be there to each
other to grow and to face troubles in our life. When they needed us, we should
be there all time to lean on and to serve as light in their darkest times. Time is
really essential in relationships. That’s what the quote means, to constantly
being there at your loved one. By being at their side, you’re showing that you
love them and they are worthy enough.
Having someone that helps you in anything is extremely fascinating. But
you also need to reciprocate it, because if your partner is the only one who
keeps working things out, it won’t last that long; it will eventually end. It should
be balanced; both should work things out. Lastly, if you’re really love that
person, show them that they are unique and special all the time. “If you want a
relationship that looks and feels like the most amazing thing on Earth, you need
to treat it’s like the most amazing thing on Earth.”
