I'm not a real crazy social butterfly - and once I realised that and I accepted it, I started to realise how many people weren't accepting of that.
Hayley Williams
Image
The air is like a butterfly With frail blue wings. The happy earth looks at the sky And sings.
Joyce Kilmer
Image
I am a happy camper so I guess I’m doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I wasn't a social butterfly at all.
Kate Bosworth

When he laughed in his throat, the butterfly laughed at me too. It's obscene fluttering corrupted me into darkness.
Kazuya Minekura

And then one day when you're playing your little game you'll suddenly find yourself pinned down like a butterfly.
Ian Fleming
Image
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility. The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that lives in a dark tunnel.
Khalil Gibran
Image
No lepidopterist's collection in the entire world...full if iridescent wings, is worth the life of a single butterfly.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
Image
Snapshots, moments, mere seconds: as fragile and beautiful and hopeless as a single butterfly, flapping on against a gathering wind.
Lauren Oliver

But on paper, things can live forever. On paper, a butterfly never dies.
Jacqueline Woodson
Image
Tiny differences in input could quickly become overwhelming differences in output.... In weather, for example, this translates into what is only half-jokingly known as the Butter- fly Effect—the notion that a butterfly stirring the air today in Peking can transform storm systems next month in New York.
James Gleick
Image
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I am iron butterfly ... / I am she/we / of flesh / and iron / and silk wings, / healing, flying / into a gentle blue sky.
Janice Mirikitani
Image
All my life I've swam in the loo butterfly style.
Faina Ranevskaya
Image
I am a butterfly drunk with life. I don't know where to soar, but I won't allow life to clip my beautiful wings.
Janusz Korczak
Image
The possibilities for immortality are endless. Here you sit reading these words, a butterfly resting on a flower!
Frederick Lenz

I can't catch her by copying her, I can't draw her with a borrowed stencil. She is all the things a lover should be and quite a few a lover should not. Pin her down? She's not a butterfly. I'm not a wrestler. She's not a target. I'm not a gun. Tell you what she is? She's not Lot no. 27 and I'm not one to brag.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
It's very tough for me to focus. I'm like: 'Look, something shiny! No, focus. Oh, there goes a butterfly!'
Gabby Douglas
Image
Fighting has taught me that the caterpillar takes a while to turn into a majestic butterfly.
Jesse Taylor

I like - it's not that I want to be someone different from me, but I suppose it partly is that. I love creating a character in a fantastical situation, like Dr. Frankenstein, like Leo Bloom, a little caterpillar who blossoms into a butterfly. I love that.
Gene Wilder
Image
Her sanity was a fragile thing, a butterfly cupped in her hands, that she carried with her everywhere, afraid of what would happen if she let it go-or got careless and crushed it.
Joe Hill
Image
Her little butterfly soul fluttered incessantly between memory and dubious expectation.
George Eliot
Image
But the individual butterfly or earthquake remains just the unique existence which it is. We forget in explaining its occurrence that it is only the occurrence that is explained, not the thing itself.
John Dewey
