Grown-ups love figures
- from The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Grown-ups love figures. When you tell them that you have made a
new friend, they never ask you any questions about essential matters.
They never say to you,
"What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he
collect butterflies?"
Instead, they demand:
"How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How
much money does his father make?"
Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him.
