And then you've got the Little Prince's author saying, perfection's achieved not when there's nothing more to add, but when there's nothing left to take away.

I've read the little prince more times than I can count, you know?

So that's a book I give out quite a lot.

one of my favorite books the little prince has the essentialism visible to the eye the curiosity the empathy falling in love for the first time getting your heart broken having your heart grow back stronger realizing you'll you'll be okay with the resilience testing your limits you know all of these things what is essential as invisible to the eye there's a an impossible to measure joyous exploration in a safe place at his college

The little prince.

The little prince.

The little prince.

The little prince.

The little prince.

It's like the little prince.

The principito.

Maybe this principito it has also helped you at something because if you didn't have that pride you couldn't have gone far in this country as an immigrant.

I think it's like the little prince who was equal. The little prince was too busy trying to show how much he knew.

Yeah, how good he was. He was just as good as everyone else.

I know when I was learning French, The Little Prince, Petit Prince, was the one everyone was supposed to read. And I just kind of like, meh, meh. I really wasn't that into it.

My son has a ring on a necklace and scribed with a quote from one of my favorite childhood movies, the little prince. Quote, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

We named it B612 because in Ed Lou's kitchen afterward he and Pete and I were sitting around drinking beer and we're saying what the heck do we call this thing? And Pete said, I think that the little prince, number one, the little prince came from an asteroid but I think it had a name.

B612, that's the cutest thing you ever heard.

The little prince came from an asteroid but I think it had a name.

So we went on... Dig it up. Before Google we went on the internet and Pete sure enough found that it was B612 was the little prince's asteroid and so we decided to name it...

And so we decided to name it...

is better and more iconic space children's stories, a more iconic space children's story than the Little Prince

In The Little Prince, if you guys remember this as a kid or maybe you've read it to your own kids, he has this great line. He says, vain men never hear anything but praise.

if you read the little prince...he says we're responsible for what we've tamed

But the big model for me and this is why I wanted to talk to you about it was The Little Prince, because you have this sort of fantastical surreal kind of adventure story for kids. It's also operating on this totally different level for adults.
