Line 7:
** And on a meta level, {{spoiler|interpreting the narrator as Saint-Exupéry himself, who died in [[World War II]] soon after writing this novel. Then read the epilogue where the Narrator asks for word if the Prince ever returns...}}
** Not to mention when the prince finally realizes that he must return to his rose, and consequently must abandon his now-tame Fox. It's worse if you've seen the movie, where the Fox is played by gentle [[Gene Wilder]].
{{quote| "Ah," said the Fox, "I shall cry."}}
*** And then of course the Fox's last lesson for the prince, especially if you think of its importance near the ''end'' of the book... say with the laughing stars:
{{quote| And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: {{spoiler|It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye}}.}}
** The exchange between the narrator and the Prince in chapter 6.
{{quote| "One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!" And a little later you added: "You know -- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..." "Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?" But the little prince made no reply.}}
