Like a butterfly stuck in a chrysalis, waiting for the perfect moment, I was waiting for the day I could burst forth and fly away and find my home.Emme Rollins

Tony and Peg have two kids, Terry-Lynn and Harvey, both of whom are enrolled in so many extracurricular and afterschool clubs that they hardly ever see their parents. If Terry-Lynn is in Girl Guides, she doesn’t have to see Peg inviting the Purolator man in for “a cup of coffee”. If Harvey is in the anime drawing club, he doesn’t have to see Peg kissing Mr. Cooper from across the street, even if all the other neighbours secretly know what’s going on. Tony has no idea, all he knows is that Peg isn’t the same Peg he married back in 2003. All he knows is that she’s changed a great deal, and not for the better, like a beautiful butterfly regressing back into a devouring, ugly caterpillar in the span of only a couple of months.Rebecca McNutt

When the spirit of nature touches us, our hearts turn into a butterfly!Mehmet Murat Ildan
14
Hold on to your heart and life will give you wings.A.D. Posey
15
Both moths and butterflies are drawn to the light. However, they both react differently to alternate shades of it. The moth prefers the moon and detests the sun, while the butterfly loves the sun and detests the moon. If our physical compositions are made to emulate the universe, then it makes sense for some of us to have more light or darkness inside our hearts than others – or that one is drawn closer to the sun versus the moon. .Suzy Kassem

Butterfly KissesAged imperfectionsstitched upon my faceyears and years of wisdomearned by His holy grace. Quiet solitude in a humble homeall the family scattered nowlike nomads do they roam. Then a giftsent from abovea memorypure and tangiblewrapped in innocence andunquestioning love. A butterfly kisslands gently upon my cheekfrom an unseen childa kiss most sweet.

Butterfly upon my hand, A voice of wonder within my mind, not my own but the butterfly's.Jazz Feylynn

I want to fly like a butterfly around this beautiful world, till the last frame of my life and the last click of my heart.Unknown

A season of loneliness and isolation is when the caterpillar gets its wings. Remember that next time you feel alone.Mandy Hale
20
I sure wasn't going to ask Aunt Sally, because if she told me once that getting your period was like a moth becoming a butterfly, she'd probably say that sexual intercourse was like a deer getting antlers or something.Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
21
In order to butterfly kiss, does it require caterpillar lips?Josh Stern
22
Beauty is where the beheld butterfly disappears from sight.R.H. Peat
23
The caterpillar becomes a pupa to meditate and then becomes a butterflyAnkala V Subbarao
24
A beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different from insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature – human or not human.Suzy Kassem
25
THE MOTH AND THE BUTTERFLYWhen the sun rises over the horizon, the butterfly emerges to dance in its brilliant light. It flickers its colorful wings with euphoria, To celebrate all the beauty foundin the majestic garden of life. When the moon arrives in the darkness, The moth appears at the disappearance of sunlight. It flickers its pale wings as it shakes from its deep slumber, To go search for food To carry it through the night. The moth prefers the moon and detests the sun, while the butterfly loves the sun and hides from the moon. Every living creature responds to light, But depending on the amount of light you have inside, Determines which lamp in the sky Your heart will swoon. Poetry by Suzy Kassem.Suzy Kassem
26
If the butterfly wings its way to the sweet light that attracts it, it's only becasue it doesn't know that the fire can consume it.Giordano Bruno
27
.. on these expanded membranes [butterfly wings] Nature writes, as on a tablet, the story of the modifications of species, so truly do all changes of the organisation register themselves thereon. Moreover, the same colour-patterns of the wings generally show, with great regularity, the degrees of blood-relationship of the species. As the laws of nature must be the same for all beings, the conclusions furnished by this group of insects must be applicable to the whole world. .Henry Walter Bates
28
To her, it was like asking a butterfly what it remembered about being a caterpillar. She could fly now and nothing could touch her when she left the cocoon of her body behind at night.Thomm Quackenbush
29
Wings are of many kinds. Butterfly's wings, vulture's wings, eagle-wings, spread wings of white swans, dragonfly's serene wings, wings of albatross, lovely wings of humming birds, tiny wings of a fly or a bumble-bee-wings; and when they fly, they fly their best according to their ability of flying. We should not underestimate the size of those heavenly wings.Munia Khan
30
You can only chase a butterfly for so long.Jane Yolen
31
Even if everybody is looking at the same light bulb, the unique composition of an individual will dictate how they interpret and see things. Some people will only see things with their left eye (mind/moon), while others will use only their right (heart/sun). Some people are completely void of light and repel it immediately. For instance, a beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different than the insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature – human or not human.Suzy Kassem
32
She is like a butterfly, Beautiful to look at But hard to catch.Nikki Rowe
33
Is love just a butterfly? Love can tell us so many things about the deep waters of our inner self and the secrecy in the hidden brushwood of our emotions. ("Alpha and Omega")Erik Pevernagie
34
What would it be like to live as a butterfly, being admired by the world for your color and beauty and grace? What would it be like to live as a spider, having people shriek and jump and throw a shoe at the very notice of you? I have tasted both―looks of desire and repulsion. How sad it is that we judge a life by such a trivial thing as appearance.Richelle E. Goodrich
35
When a caterpillar bursts from its cocoon and discovers it has wings, it does not sit idly, hoping to one day turn back. It flies.Kelseyleigh Reber

You are my butterfly, and I am your flower.Anthony T. Hincks

I'm still like a butterfly going from one job to another job. But it's quite lovely - I hope to keep this freedom, to have fun.Carine Roitfeld
40
Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.Nathaniel Hawthorne
41
I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?Zhuangzi
42
I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.Zhuangzi
43
The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.Joyce Brothers
44
This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it but man will never on his heap of mud keep still.Joseph Conrad
45
Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness.Annie Besant
46
When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away.Anna Pavlova
47
Going into auditions, there is a wonderful butterfly feeling in your stomach - an equal balance of being utterly terrified and exhilarated that this is your chance.Rose Leslie
48
Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle - my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.Edward Everett Hale
49
My education was paid for by the RAF Benevolent Fund, so a charity school, run like an orphanage, with uniforms and beatings. It was tough, but it got me to Cambridge - like being a chrysalis suddenly becoming a butterfly.Eric Idle

In my i Pod, there are many operas, from A to Z. I have 'Aida' and 'Boheme' and 'Butterfly' and 'Cavalleria'. My passion is for opera, but when I'm in the car, I listen to everything.Andrea Bocelli
