Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one. It got on at 42nd, and off at 59th, where, I assume it was going to Bloomingdales to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake – as almost all hats are.
~Nikolaus Laszlo, Nora Ephron, and Delia Ephron, You’ve Got Mail
Know thyself! A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever observes himself arrests his own development. A caterpillar who wanted to know itself well would never become a butterfly.
~Andre Gide
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
