Antoine de Saint Exupéry drawings (from "Le Petit Prince") also used to appear on the 50 French Francs bank note on which his name was written "Antoine de Saint-Éxupéry".
(see the 'É' instead of 'E' ?).
Of course this info will be obsolete around January 2002 as € will be used instead of French Francs.

Finally, an excellent quote from this author/philosopher is the following which would have been worth a node in itself :

"We don't inherit the World, we borrow it from our children".

Its amazing to see such a clairvoyant quote years before people started talking about Greenpeace...
