A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly

Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrest his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.

Just when the caterpillar thought “I am incapable of moving,” it became a butterfly.

And I wonder if the caterpillar at the threshold of death ever knew that she would get metamorphosed into a butterfly that she could fly.

Children are caterpillars and adults are butterflies. No butterfly ever remembers what it felt like being a caterpillar.

Just when the caterpillar thought her world was over, she became a butterfly.
