from "The Little Prince"

"I am looking for friends.  What does that mean - tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox.  "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox.  "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like hundred thousand other little boys.  And I have no need of you.  And you, on your part, have no need of me.  To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes.  But if you tame me, then we shall need each other.  To me, you will be unique in all the world.  To you, I shall be unique in all the world..."

 "If you come at four o'clock in the afternoon, then by three o'clock I shall begin to be happy."
