The thing that is important is the thing that not seen… It is just as it is with the flower。 If you love a flower that lives on a star， it is sweet to look at the sky at night。 All the stars are abloom with flowers…
In one of the stars I shall be living。 In one of them I shall be laughing。 And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing， when you look at the sky at night… You – only you – will have stars that can laugh.
All men have the stars， but they are not the same things for different people。 For some， who are travelers， the stars are guides。 For others they are no more than little lights in the sky。 For others， who are scholars， they are problems。 For my businessman they were wealth。 But all these stars are silent。 You – you alone – will have the stars as no one else has them.
