Widely seen on French websites as, “Faites que le rêve dévore votre vie afin que la vie ne dévore pas votre rêve,” citing Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). However, as yet, Webmaster has not been able to verify that the quote is found in that book. Can you help?
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again.

I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
