You alone will have the stars


O Captain! My Captain!…

R.I.P. Robin Williams 

You - you alone will have the stars 
as no one else has them…
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 were laughing, 
when you look at the sky at night…
You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

If you haven't ever read
Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, you should.
And if you haven't reread it lately, do it soon.
What is essential truly is invisible to the eye.
