Their civilizations are but fragile gildings: a volcano can blot them out, a new sea, a sand-storm.”

"I never wished you any harm; but you wanted me to tame you..." "I know," said the fox. "And now you're going to cry!" said the little prince. "I know," said the fox. "So you have gained nothing from it at all!" "Yes, I have gained something," said the fox, "because of the colour of the corn.”
