“In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars are laughing, when you look at the night sky…. And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows), you will be content that you have known me. You will  always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure.” - The Little Prince (Courtesy Patti Woods-LaVoie)
