Quote of the day taken from The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery
VictorPrep's vocab podcast is for improving for English vocabulary skills while helping you prepare for your standardized tests!
This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.
I run the podcast for fun and because I want to help people out there studying for tests or simply learning English.
The podcast covers a variety of words and sometimes additionally covers word roots. Using a podcast to prep for the verbal test lets you study while on the go, or even while working out!

0:00.0 | Hey Podcast Listeners, this is Samfold and this is episode 81 of the Victory Prep |
0:08.1 | Vocal Podcast. You know today I've literally spent the last hour trying to find the right quote for this |
0:15.7 | episode and I think I found it took me a while but I was looking through various books |
0:21.1 | I have here but, this is the one. But before we get there, we have to review the World Series 80, so let's do that quickly. We had fallacious, restive, and deface. So fallacious, that means |
0:39.9 | based on a mistaken belief, so a fallacious argument is one that is based on something that is erroneous, |
0:46.2 | so it's not a very good argument. |
0:48.6 | Merretricious, Merretricious, means apparently attractive, but in reality having no value. |
0:56.0 | You could have a Meritricious argument as well as a Meritricious object or thing. |
1:02.0 | Restive. Restive. Restive is used to describe a person or a number of people |
1:09.2 | who are unable to keep still or silent and are becoming increasingly difficult to control |
1:15.1 | usually because of boredom or impatience or annoyance. |
1:20.2 | And to deface, to deface something is to spoil the surface or appearance of something by drawing on it, writing on it, vandalizing it, etc. |
1:34.0 | So my quote for today is from a book called The Little Prince, |
1:39.0 | and it's by a French writer called Antoine de Saint-Louis Zupri. |
1:44.0 | And it is an amazing book. |
1:47.0 | It's ostensibly a children's book, |
1:50.0 | but to be honest, I feel like it's for everyone and it's so beautiful and I very I kind of rarely come back to it because it's so |
1:59.7 | Cushingly sad to me, but it's it's beautiful too. So I have a quote from this book that I picked out. |
2:07.3 | As the little prince was falling asleep, I picked him up in my arms and started walking again. I was moved. It was as if I was carrying a fragile |
2:19.1 | treasure. It actually seemed to me that there was nothing more fragile on Earth. |
2:25.4 | By the light of the moon I gazed at that pale forehead, those closed eyes, those locks of hair trembling in the wind, and I said to myself, |
2:36.7 | what I'm looking at is only a shell, what's most important is invisible? |
