The Little Prince makes several profound and idealistic observations about life and human nature. For example, Saint-Exupéry tells of a fox meeting the young prince as he exits the Sahara desert. The story's essence is contained in the lines uttered by the fox to the little prince: "
On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." (
"One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.") Other key thematic messages are articulated by the fox, such as:
"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed" and
"It is the time you have lost for your rose that makes your rose so important."
