This book, originally in French as Le Petit Prince, is the most adorable book ever.
It is a kid's book, but the meaning goes soul deep.
Anyways - here is a passage that kind of sums up the book. You see the little Prince has a pet rose, and he loves this rose above all things. But he goes around the universe before realizing this.
When he comes across a rose garden a few planets away this is what he says:
"You're lovely, but you're empty," he went on. "One couldn't die for you. Of course an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than you altogether, since she's the one I've watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for whom I killed the caterpillars (except for two or three for butterflies). Since's she the one I listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose."
Puisque c'est ma rose!
I think it's the most romantic thing I have ever read, and it's a kid's book!
