Awaken to the universes simple gift of the butterfly. Watch with fascination and joy as a jeweled treasure glides by and gently touches your soul. K. D’ANGELO So how does an insect that is huge, brightly colored, and extremely visible, avoid getting eaten by predators? 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 ( more Nathaniel Hawthorne quotes) With the rose the butterfly’s deep in love, A thousand times hovering round; But round himself, all tender like gold, The sun’s sweet ray is hovering found. HEINRICH HEINE I have four or five ideas that just keep floating around and I want to kind of just let one – like a beautiful butterfly, let it land somewhere. GILLIAN FLYNN

A caterpillar, after its deep slumber, ‘wakes up to reality’ to realize, that truth is not always bitter after all! MANALI OAK To all the broken-hearted and anyone feeling sad, may your hearts heal and may you feel happy in your lives.Flutter as the butterflies do. KRYSTAL I’ve always loved butterflies, because they remind us that it’s never too late to transform ourselves. DREW BARRYMORE The fluttering of a butterfly’s wings can effect climate changes on the other side of the planet. PAUL ERLICH Life is short. If you doubt me, ask a butterfly. Their average life span is a mere five to fourteen days. ELLEN DEGENERESIt’s only when caterpillarness is done that one becomes a butterfly. That again is part of this paradox. You cannot rip away caterpillarness. The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process of which we have no control. RAM DASS

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days – three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain. JOHN KEATS ( more John Keats quotes)We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. MAYA ANGELOU

How does one become a butterfly?’ she asked pensively. ‘You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.’ TRINA PAULUS Adding wings to caterpillars does not create butterflies, it creates awkward and dysfunctional caterpillars. Butterflies are created through transformation. STEPHANIE MARSHALL One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. HELEN KELLER ( more Helen Keller quotes) Once you let people know anything about what you think, that’s it, you’re dead. Then they’ll be jumping about in your mind, taking things out, holding them up to the light and killing them, yes, killing them, because thoughts are supposed to stay and grow in quiet, dark places, like butterflies in cocoons. HELEN OYEYEMI The great loneliness- like the loneliness a caterpillar endures when she wraps herself in a silky shroud and begins the long transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. It seems we too must go through such a time, when life as we have known it is over- when being a caterpillar feels somehow false and yet we don’t know who we are supposed to become. ELIZABETH LESSERThis 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 When it comes to religion today, we tend to be long on butterflies and short on cocoons. Somehow we’re going to have to relearn that the deep things of God don’t come suddenly. SUE MONK KIDD Beautiful and graceful, butterflies lift our spirits with their loveliness and lyric flight. GLORIA B. SCHLAEPFER The butterfly flits from bloom to bloom, as not to miss one fragrant plume. In her sight exists no garden finale, only paradise of flowered hill and valley. K. D’ANGELO Just living is not enough’, said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.’ HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN

Nature’s message was always there and for us to see. It was written on the wings of butterflies. KJELL B. SANDVED Butterflies love to be out in the sunshine, just like people. You can look for them on warm, bright sunny days. JOHN WOODWARD Butterflies are totally the dancing queens of the animal world! They have huge wings for their tiny bodies. Their wings are way bigger than many other insects of the same weight. And new research shows butterflies don’t even need all of that wingspan -- their wings are so massive they can fly even with half their wing cut off. Do ye not comprehend that we are worms born to bring forth the angelic butterfly that flieth unto judgment without screen? DANTE ALIGHIERIButterflies used to reproduce on the native plants that grew in our yards before the plants were bulldozed and replaced with lawn. To have butterflies in our future, we need to replace those lost host plants, no if’s, and’s or but’s. If we do not, butterfly populations will continue to decline with every new house that is built. DOUGLAS TALLAMY We adore this clever flying butterfly. After winding the Magic Flyer butterfly magically flies out of your wedding invitation, save-the-date cards, or thank-you cards as they are opened and it's a wonderful surprise for your family and friends. Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem for the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems. No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay. PAT BARKER Magic butterflies are a fun addition to a greeting card, book or gift where the recipient 'opens' the gift. With the 'wings' tightly wound energy released when the butterfly is no longer trapped in place, and it will 'fly' out and delight the recipient. Bees sip honey from flowers and hum their thanks when they leave. The gaudy butterfly is sure that the flowers owe thanks to him. RABINDRANATH TAGORE
