"You are beautiful, but you are empty," he went on. "One could not die for you. To be sure, an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looked just like you--the rose that belongs to me. But in herself alone she is more important than all the hundreds of you other roses: because it is she that I have watered; because it is she that I have put under the glass globe; because it is she that I have sheltered behind the screen; because it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars (except the two or three that we saved to become butterflies); because it is she that I have listened to, when she grumbled, or boasted, or ever sometimes when she said nothing. Because she is my rose.
This quote means that just because you are pretty or just like everyone else you are nothing to me. I also think that this quote means that things are unique to you in different ways. An example of this is when the little Prince wasted so much time on his one rose than all the others. This shows how important the rose is to him.
Also, I can really relate to this quote. I have had many umbrellas in the past and they are nothing to me. My Grandmother died recently and i took her umbrella to remember her by. That umbrella means more to me than a lot of things i have. It isn't the best looking umbrella and it isn't the newest umbrella but it is a special one. It mean a lot to me and i would trade all of the umbrellas in the world for it.
