Marlene Van Niekerk...a butterfly is like the soul of a person, it dries out in captivity.
About This Quote
The butterfly is the soul of the person. When the butterfly dies it is like the person dies. The butterfly is like our soul, when we are happy and healthy we are like the butterfly. But when we are unhealthy, or unhappy, or depressed then we are like that trapped butterfly. When we are free to fly around us again then we will be like that free butterfly.
