When she transformed into a butterfly, the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty, but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been. But she had wings.

About This Quote

When you are beautiful, the world says you look beautiful for a reason. But when you are ugly, the world often does the same. The caterpillar believes that she is ugly for a reason, that she cannot be beautiful because she is ugly. She believes that to be beautiful, she must first be loved.

She believes that if she were to change into what everyone else sees as beautiful, then others would love her for who she is. To her, it seems like an impossible task. However, to her, beauty is something within; it is not something you can put on to make others love you.
