"Draw me a sheep!"
This quote signifies the innocence of a child who wants a picture of sheep while adult is busy
trying to find a solution to fix his plane. Maybe the author Antoine De Saint - Exupery tries to
show that sometimes take time to think about ideal stuff can help adult to find the true solution
to life instead of realistic perspective.
"Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them."
This quote tells us that the minds of adults are closed, and only try to look for practical things that can
be useful. Children's idealistic mind always seek for new, innovative ideas while closed adults are having
hard time understanding the idealistic ideas. This teaches the lesson that open mind is needed for people
to seek the real beauty of life.
"If you tell grown-ups, "I saw a beautiful red brick house, with geraniums at the windows and doves on the roof...," they won't be able to imagine such a house. You have to tell them, "I saw a house worth a hundred thousand francs." Then they exclaim, "What a pretty house!" "
This quote tells us that in our capitalistic society people always seek for wealth and profits. Therefore they misunderstand the true description of the beautiful house by saying the house is worth hundred thousand dollars.
This also tells us that in order to see the real beauty of things, people need to learn how to look at things without
monetary values.
""That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man." :
I really liked this quote because when I tried to write a personal essay about myself, it was very hard to describe
myself and judge my life based on my accomplishments. Maybe this is because I have not done things perfectly
or it might also be because there are people far more better than me. I agree with this quote that judging myself is
the hardest thing of all
""One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." "
This quote tells us that inner mind is the important thing rather than outside, physical beauty. A person can decorate himself with many beautiful clothes, accessories, and things with high monetary values, but it is important that the person see the inner mind. Inner mind can be seen by the heart not eyes. Therefore anything essential is invisible to eyes.
Great quotes!
