Grown-ups never understand
anything for themselves and
it is tiresome for children
to be always and forever ex-
plaining everything to them.

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince

One of my absolute favorites:

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eyes.

My old roommates and I used to call Alex Neff the Little Prince, for strange and mysterious reasons that we never really explicated, but somehow it just seemed right...

Hannah, you're a deery lou.

Sarah, I can absolutely see Alex as The Little Prince. He's just needs the coat, the sword, and the boots and he's there.

Kate, thanks for the address. Your special card is on its way. (Everybody check out

Kyrie, when you figure it out, please let me know.

Annie, so glad to tickle your brain.
