Good morning, my princess!

Life is beautiful, no matter how unsatisfactory it is. You will run into a cute girl when you don’t expect it. You have to say to her: Good morning, my princess! Then take off your hat and show her your unparalleled talent.

Be full of enthusiasm for everything, treat everything as a godsend, smile at everyone, and be full of respect for those who admire you. How could the princess not fall in love with you! Because you are so passionate, so witty and humorous! You fill her life with infinite surprises. You are her cutest, most charming and most nonsensical prince.

You are riding a tall horse, the horse is covered with green graffiti cursing your blood, you rushed into the princess's engagement ceremony, took her away, the princess was taken away proudly by you. You are married and live happily together. A fairy tale with a perfect ending.

However, life is not a fairy tale. You are riding a shabby bicycle with the little prince in front and the princess in the back. You walk through the narrow streets with loud laughter. The culmination of your love-the little prince is smart and cute, full of curiosity about everything. He would ask, why is it written "Jews and dogs are not allowed" at the entrance of the store? You answered: Maybe because they don't like Jews and dogs, just like I don't like savages, we will write "Barbarians and spiders are not allowed" on the window of our little bookstore tomorrow, because you hate spiders. Haha, what a brilliant answer!

You are not only the most kind and lovely prince, but also a great father. Suddenly one day, you and the little prince were captured by the Nazis because of your Jewish ancestry. In the gloomy car, you said: We are going to take the best trip, ours hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up, I'm already in a hurry! Look, my mother is here too, she is walking towards the train, waving at us, look, the train has stopped, the train is really good! Although the little prince felt exhausted, you said that when we came back, we would take a long-distance bus with seats. Well, the car was not so crowded.

Life in the concentration camp is inhumane, but you are always full of enthusiasm and laughter. You say this is the most exciting game. We must obey the order, pretend to be afraid of the yelling person, and get points. The final prize is a tank, a real tank! There are also a variety of different games, such as "hiding the cat", "don't let anyone find you", and "silent game", where you don't talk when you are with German kids. The little prince grows painlessly in the world of the game you made for him, and he enjoys this unique game.

Childlike heart and love, fatherly love and giving, have made a comedy on earth.

In order to find shelter in the concentration camp for the little prince, the searchlight exposes you, and a gunshot makes you not appear again. For the princess and the little prince, what you have left is an unparalleled love for life and your lover and children. Your attitude towards life that treats cruel life as a game is the greatest gift to your child in his life.

When the little prince got out of the broken iron box in the concentration camp, he was pleasantly surprised to see a real tank coming to take him and his mother home. So he really got the highest award. This is the grand prize of life.

    Thought it was a comedy, but cried several times. Thinking of a question, how to be an interesting person is probably to face the world optimistically, love yourself and the people around you.

    Refuse to be silent. Countless historical tragedies stem from collective silence. I still remember Martini Mora’s poem: At first they hunted down communists and I did not speak because I was not a communist; then they hunted down Jews but I did not speak because I was not a Jew; after that they hunted down...; Finally they rushed to me, and no one could speak for me at that time.

Life Is Beautiful quotes

  • Guido: Look at this. Look over there. Look at that building. Didn't I tell you. We're in the city. We can do whatever we want. We are completely free. If you want to do something, you just do it! If you want to yell, you just go ahead and yell. No one's going to stop you.

    Ferruccio: Ahhhhh!

    Guido: Stop. What are you doing? Have you gone crazy? We're in the middle of a city. You can't behave like you do in the country. Come on.

    Ferruccio: What did I do?

    Guido: What do you mean, what did I do? They're gonna lock you up.

  • Guido: I'm new here and I understand there's a whole procedure I have to go through to open a bookstore. How long does it take?

    Segretaria Comune: Years.
