i couldnt put the book down since the first time i touched it. i couldnt believe that this book is a children/s book, seriously?
in my humble opinion i would say this is an adult book written by an adult to the world of adulthood. all of the children instruments in there are only symbols and mediums of the idea being presented.
anyway,the book has tamed me, just like the boy has tamed the fox or the rose has tamed the boy (without him realizing it). There are so many wonderful books out there but this one is too beautiful to just see it as one among so many...because the book has tamed me so that i can see it's uniqueness stands out in all the vast expanse of my universe of books...
Exupéry has depressed me, somehow. Reading it made me feel regretful, like i owed many people a second glance. The book has a gloomy message not because of the ending or anything to do with it but i think the writer is lonely and he transported that loneliness to me, the reader...
It made me regret the things i havent done that i should have done...i missed the things i have tamed and have tamed me and that i have just ignored them as something like a roadkill, dropped somewhere along the way and never reckoned a second glance. I should have read this book long ago...things would have been different, wouldnt them?
some great quotes from the book:
"you can only seen things clearly with your heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye"
"it is the time that you wasted on your rose that makes your rose so important"
