It’s a beautiful quote and I like that you kept it in the original french. Doesn’t translate as nicely.
Thank you. I’ve seen it translated a few different ways. Whenever I’m asked about it, I tell people it’s, “….one sees well only with the heart. the essential is invisible to the eyes,” but I’m not even sure if that’s right, ha.
Yeah, I speak French and that’s how I would translate it. The beauty of the French language conveys the sense of this quote better.
That’s exactly why I left it in French. I definitely agree. :]
I love this quote! I definitely like the place of the tattoo. very nice!
That is so hot! It doesn’t hurt that the quote is awesome!
