About This Quote
And the fox said to the little prince: men have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. This quote is taken from the book "The Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. The little prince is a young boy who lives on an asteroid.
When he discovers that his sheep are being eaten by the foxes, he goes into space in search of help. The foxes are very mean and cruel to him for taming their planet. The foxes are extremely selfish because they only care about themselves and are willing to do anything they can survive on their own.
