The Little Prince ‧ 1943
When a mystery is too overpowering, one dare not disobey.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker says that when a mystery is powerful enough, people are too awed to defy it. Its force works like an unspoken command, so obedience comes from wonder and unease rather than from any reasoned instruction.
