Summary

This quote by French philosopher Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry humorously suggests that the concept of monarchy is becoming obsolete. By claiming that in a few years, only the King of England and the four kings in a deck of cards will remain as kings, Saint-ExupÃ©ry indicates a shift towards more egalitarian and democratic societies. He highlights the decreasing influence and relevance of monarchy in a modern world where power is increasingly distributed among individuals rather than concentrated in a few ruling figures.

Nobody is worthy to be loved. The fact that God loves man shows us that in the divine order of ideal things it is written that eternal love is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Or if that phrase seems to be a bitter one to bear, let us say that everybody is worthy of love, except him who thinks he is.
