One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed.
一個人一旦讓自己被人馴養後,就得承擔一點哭泣的風險。
來自小小星球的小王子,遊歷了各個星球,最後來到了地球。這不只是小王子的宇宙之旅,更是小王子一場充滿純真與溫柔的生命之旅,這是因為小王子擁有一個簡單的「祕密」:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.
只有用心靈才能把事情看得真確;
重要的東西用肉眼是看不見的。
《小王子》猶如穹蒼中一顆燦然動人的明星,讓久居樊籠的我們,尋回內心深處純真的夢想、樸實無偽的友誼;喚醒深陷世俗囹圄而不自覺的心靈,與生命中最寶貴、卻也最容易被忽略、遺忘的真情。
