Welcome to Litsy!

?? "Où sont les hommes? reprit enfin le petit prince. On est un peu seul dans le désert.."
"On est seul aussi chez les hommes", dit le serpent.

?? “Where are the people?” resumed the little prince at last. “It‘s a little #lonely in the desert…”
“It is lonely when you‘re among people, too,” said the snake.”

A few of my blue books (although Maya Angelou‘s book faded out in the photo, it‘s really a pale blue, a shade lighter than Kerouac‘s On The Road).

A couple of my blue books. The Little Prince is an old favorite.

I found a Japanese site showing the bestsellers for May of 2019. It wasn't translated, so I could only recognize two. One was Killing Commendatore, which wasn't surprising, but I wouldn't have expected the tagged book. Apparently The Little Prince is so popular there is an entire museum devoted to it (!)

“If I‘ve told you these details about Asteroid B-612 and I‘ve given you it‘s number, it is on account of the grown-ups. Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: “What does his voice sound like?” “What games does he like best?” “Does he collect butterflies?””

I'm loving this dedication in the front of this book. 😍😍

I've never read this before. Reading it for a #buddyread. Looking forward to it!

You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

One of my favorite ever

"Here is my secret. It‘s quite simple: One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes."

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

"What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower – the image of a rose that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep…"

This book reminded me of a Twilight Zone episode. The weirdness of the story made it rather enjoyable. I think it shows us that the things we think are really important, mean nothing. We get so dedicated to one thing we don‘t see the absurdity of it. The things we invest time in will mean the most to us.

🧁The Little Prince. I read it when I was studying french in sixth form and have since bought copies in English. The story was so simple yet complex and beautiful. 💕

I just had a student ask me what books I would recommend that feel like this one, that talk about love, and are inspiring. What would you recommend?

“And no grown-up will ever understand that this is a matter of so much importance.”

The planets are cool and although I think kids would like it, I don‘t think the suicide at the end would be appropriate at all. Maybe just read the chapters with the fun planets.

The language was exciting and engaging. The characters were well developed.

“Men,” said the little prince, “set out on their way in express trains, but they do not know what they are looking for.”

Adventurous story with a meaningful message about learning the meaning of life. Pictures are simple but fit well with the story.

Modern fantasy, 1971. Story of the Little Prince that lives alone on a tiny planet. He has three volcanoes and owns a beautiful flower. His pride leads him to earth and opens his mind. He learns from a Fox the secret of what is really important in life.

#Riotgrams Day 22: A Favorite Classic

The Little Prince is without a doubt one of my favorite books of all time. I‘ve read it so many times, in both English and French, and it never gets old. It‘s such a beautiful story and I pick up little lessons every time I reread it.

The snake and elephant drawing is definitely going to be my next tattoo!

#bookriot

I realize this is technically a children‘s book, but the lesson is timeless and deeply important: friends are necessary for happiness. The most important things are from the heart. I should‘ve read this years ago.

Super cute and quick read. Such an important message about superficiality and friendship.

'It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.'

'It is such a secret place, the land of tears.'

'Children should always show great forbearance towards grown-up people.'

It's abnormally bright and sunny out; I have chocolate raspberry oats; I'm going trampolining later and then to the library right after... could there be a better start to my day?

#bemyvalentine #literarylove

It took me a while to finish and at first, I didn‘t think I was liking the book. But honestly, it‘s because I haven‘t read anything like it before. Sure I‘ve read manga translated from Japanese, but there‘s something different about extended text translation.
Beautiful and sad. Very close to crying.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Super excited to move onto my next #LitsyAtoZ book, The Little Prince (my #letterE for the authors last name).
I bought this book back when I lived in Japan, but never got the chance to read it until now.

#unpopularopiniontime
I got nothing from this book.
Zip.
Zero.
Zilch.
It had a moment or two of charm.
But why it is an internationally beloved classic is well beyond me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Written in allegory, this was a tough book to get into at first. I listened to it on Audible with my 6 year old. She loved it, although I‘m not sure she fully understood it. But that‘s the point of The Little Prince, isn‘t it? That children see and understand things much different than adults. I have ordered the paperback version so that we can see the illustrations mentioned throughout and we plan to see the new animated film. Book 6 of 2019

At least while I‘m laying here trying to feel better, I can watch a documentary on The Little Prince...
Thanks Netflix!

Started and finished this one today.. 4 ⭐️.. I have been wanting to read this book not only because I have fond memories of it but also because I can now scratch it off my 100 books to read. I could have before but I just wanted to reread it and have it fresh in my mind 😊

“One sees clearly only with the heart.”
My daughter and I are really enjoying this one!!

Actual goal for today was 10km and I'm quite disappointed with the time. What did I do? Crawl???

But I made progress on this book. It's taking me so long to read, lol. - listening on audio.

Les plus belles choses dans le monde ne peuvent pas être vus ou touchés, ils se font sentir avec le cœur.

...because they still like to be read to. 😇 And they like to scratch off my poster. 😜

Happy Hour at Starbucks ♥️ Coconut milk mocha macchiato for aunt Kadie, caramel brûlée latte for aunt Courtney, baby hot chocolate for Mya ☕️?♥️ Now to sit down with some books for the afternoon, I got her a cute toddler version of The Little Prince for Christmas!

“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is exhausting for children to have to provide explanations over and over again.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

People usually have hangover food, I have a hangover book. My gf and I always read a few chapters of the little prince after a long night of drinking. One of our little habits that I love 💕

Absolute classic. One of my favorites

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye
