I'll try to keep looking up. Z."The full quote, taken from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's classic tale The Little Prince, began: "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."
