"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, “The Little Prince”
 
Without time and affection, we are all ordinary to each other.
 
2021 is the 75th anniversary of the first French edition of the book Le Petit Prince, The Little Prince in English. The French postal service company La Poste issued in April a very iconic and classy Le Petit Prince stamp. On the stamp, the Little Prince is kneeing while holding preciously his plant (his unique rose?) on his own planet. On the sides of the sheet, there are classical characters (the rose, the fox, the hat or the snake that has eaten an elephant, the plane) that appear in the book.
