Am I an old man who changed into a butterfly, or a butterfly who thinks he was once an old man?

Dennis Vickers
About This Quote

The answer depends on what you mean by “old man” and “butterfly.” If you are referring to your age, you are indeed old. But, if you are thinking about the physical characteristics of a butterfly, then you are probably right. If you are referring to your personality, then it’s probably true that you have changed into a butterfly.
