                                                                           FROM :http://www.lepetitprince.com/70ans/


The year 2013 marks the 70th anniversary of The Little Prince.

The first time  that this novel was published was in the United States in April 6th, 1943, 70 years ago. Since then, the book, written and illustrated by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, began circulating and has become in time one of the best known novels, which has been translated into several languages.
Perhaps one of its famous line, spoken by the fox is: 

IN FRENCH:
"On ne voit bien qu´avec le coeur. L´essentiel est invisible pour les yeux". 

IN  ENGLISH:

"Here is my secret.  It's quite simple: 
One sees clearly with the heart.
What is esssential is invisible to the eyes".




Now, you can watch different parts of the film:
