Summary

This quote by author Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry suggests that the desert's beauty lies in its ability to conceal something valuable or significant. Just as a barren and desolate desert appears devoid of life, there may be a hidden source of water or nourishment that sustains it. The quote metaphorically encourages us to recognize that unexpected treasures or opportunities may exist in the most unexpected places. It serves as a reminder to explore and seek beyond what initially meets the eye, for therein lies the potential for beauty and fulfillment.

It doesn't seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil - which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.
