"You are beautiful but you are empty, " he continued. "One cannot die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passer-by would believe that my very own rose looked just like you, but she is far more important than all of you because she is the one I have watered. And it is she that I have placed under a glass dome. And it is she that I have sheltered behind a screen... And it is she I have listened to complaining or boasting or sometimes remaining silent. Because she is my rose." - The Little Prince
