...your self-deception, your own hesitation and self doubt may confuse other people, or actually deceive them. You may ask someone to help you make a decision: "Should I ask this person to marry me?" "Should I complain to so-and -so who was rude to me?" "Should I take this vacation?" You are deceiving others if your question is not a genuine request for help, but simply reflects your lack of self-confidence. Being without deception is actually a further extension of telling the truth: it is based on being truthful with yourself.

At one point in the story, the little prince meets a fox. The prince is very lonely and wants the fox to play with him, but the fox says he cannot play unless he is tamed. The little prince asks the meaning of the word "tame". The fox explains that it means "to establish ties" in such a way that the fox will become unique to the little prince, and the little prince will become unique to the fox. Later, after the fox has been tamed and the little prince must leave him, the fox also tells the prince what he calls, "my secret, a very simple secret" which is, "it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
