Starry Night over the Rhone by Vincent van Gogh

"You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh." 

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry ( The Little Prince)
