“In those days, I didn't understand anything. 
I should have judged her according to her actions, not her words. 
She perfumed my planet and lit up my life. 
I should never have run away! 
I ought to have realized the tenderness underlying her silly pretensions. 
Flowers are so contradictory! 
But I was too young to know how to love her.” 

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
