"Please--tame me!" he said.
"I want to, very much," the little prince replied.
"But I don't have much time. I've got friends to discover, and many things to understand."
"One only understands the things that one tames,"
said the fox.
"Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things all ready made at the shops. But there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship, so men have no friends any more. If you want a friend, tame me"
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
