About this quote

This line suggests that physical beauty derives its true value from something unseen, such as love, memory, or affection. In the story, the Little Prince loves a single rose on his distant planet. Looking at the vast night sky brings him joy because he knows his beloved flower is out there somewhere, hidden among the countless stars.

It comes from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s 1943 novella, The Little Prince. The prince speaks these words to the narrator while walking through the desert at night, reflecting on what makes things truly precious.
