Although the butterfly and the caterpillar are completely different, they are one and the same.
We are like caterpillars contemplating pupation.
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly
Everybody knows what a caterpillar is, and it doesn't look anything like a butterfly.
All human beings have the ability to transform like a caterpillar emerging from its cocoon and taking to the sky.
Afraid? Me? A man who's licked his weight in wild caterpillars?
The Caterpillar cannot understand the butterfly
If a caterpillar doesn't know its future has wings, it hardly experiences itself as land-bound.
Since when does the butterfly ask about the caterpillar?
You cannot direspect the caterpillar and rave about the butterfly.
