"Lady butterfly"



We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
 
--Maya Angelou


“Just living is not enough,” said the butterfly, “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.”
 
--Hans Christian Anderson


Lady butterfly
perfumes her wings
by floating
over the orchid.
 
--Basho

 
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
 
--Richard Bach
