“We delight in the beauty
of the butterfly, but rarely admit
the changes it has gone through
to achieve that beauty.”
— Maya Angelou
“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.” — Henry David Thoreau
