English translation: “And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

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!
i love the font on this tattoo…its so dignified
what font is this?
Not sure how I never caught this in my childhood readings of The Little Prince, but this quotation essentially paraphrases Shakespeare: “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind…”.
Which, coincidentally enough, is what my girlfriend has tattooed on her hip. Probably should get her to post.
yes please, what is this lovely font??
thank you! and the font is really simple, from microsoft word actually ha –it’s called garamond.
this tattoo makes me want to read that book. awesome tattoo, i love the french language
how much did this cost?
Wow, Carlos Rojas work is amazing.

I have this tattooed on my left arm! I’m not sure if I’m excited or bummed to discover another, but I guess great minds think alike, as they say.
