At Saint-Maurice I have a huge trunk. I’ve been filling it, ever since I was 7 years old, with my plans… with the letters I receive, with my photos. With all I love, think about, and want to remember. At times I spread them out haphazardly on the floor. And as I look down, I am reminded of all these things once again. Nothing but that trunk is of importance to me.

– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

We should all cultivate a “trunk” like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Bimba Landmann‘s In Search of the Little Prince is an enlightening short biography of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The prose reads like a poem. And I knew Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a pilot, but I didn’t realize how much he loved to fly.

Picture books remain underrated.

One morning you wake up and say: “It was just a fairy tale.” You laugh at yourself, but deep down you’re not laughing at all. You know that fairy tales are the only truth of life.
