So, I’ve recently read “The Little Prince”(or Le Petite Prince in the original French) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a children’s book written back during World War 2. What prompted me to read it was a character in a game I play whose design is based on the titular prince. In all honesty, the book is a bit bizarre but I rather liked it. I had never heard of the book when I was younger, but if I had, I would have found the ending a bit disconcerting. Reading it as an adult made me reflect on how trivial some of the things I am meant to see of the highest importance as an adult are. I do find the ending sad but in the right way. These are just some quotes from the story that stood out to me. I might make another post about the story.

“To kings, all men are subjects. To vain men, other people are admirers.”
