{"quotes":[{"text":"Tony and Peg have two kids, Terry-Lynn and Harvey, both of whom are enrolled in so many extracurricular and afterschool clubs that they hardly ever see their parents. If Terry-Lynn is in Girl Guides, she doesn’t have to see Peg inviting the Purolator man in for “a cup of coffee”. If Harvey is in the anime drawing club, he doesn’t have to see Peg kissing Mr. Cooper from across the street, even if all the other neighbours secretly know what’s going on. Tony has no idea, all he knows is that Peg isn’t the same Peg he married back in 2003. All he knows is that she’s changed a great deal, and not for the better, like a beautiful butterfly regressing back into a devouring, ugly caterpillar in the span of only a couple of months.","author":"Rebecca McNutt","tags":["affair","afterschool","anime","beautiful","butterfly","caterpillar","change","cheater","children","coffee","drawing","extracurricular-activities","girl-scouts","homewrecker","kids","kiss","marriage","neighbours","parents","purolator","street","ugly"],"id":62,"author_id":"Rebecca+McNutt"},{"text":"Story is a butterfly whose wings transport us to another world where we receive gifts that change who we are and who we want to be.","author":"Harley King","tags":["butterfly","gifts","story"],"id":16958,"author_id":"Harley+King"},{"text":"A caterpillar knows it's a butterfly, even if the whole world tries to convince it that it's just a worm.","author":"Matshona Dhliwayo","tags":["butterfly","catapillar","inspirational","inspirational","inspirational","motivation","motivational","motivational","motivational"],"id":19768,"author_id":"Matshona+Dhliwayo"},{"text":"Butterfly upon my hand, A voice of wonder within my mind, not my own but the butterfly's.","author":"Jazz Feylynn","tags":["being","beingness","butterfly","communication","communication-between-beings","feylynn","hand","in-my-hand","in-my-mind","jazz","jazz-feylynn","mind","not-my-own","own","pcyhic-thoughts","poetry","thoughts-of-the-mind","upon-my-hand","voice-of-wonder","voice-within","wonder"],"id":25276,"author_id":"Jazz+Feylynn"},{"text":"A light rain touches my cheek like an angel's butterfly kisses.","author":"Amanda Mosher","tags":["affection","angel","butterfly","butterfly-kiss","cheek","heaven","kiss","kissing","love","love-and-sayings","rain","raining","romance"],"id":30677,"author_id":"Amanda+Mosher"},{"text":"The moth prefers the moon and detests the sun, while the butterfly loves the sun and hides from the moon.

On these expanded membranes [butterfly wings] Nature writes, as on a tablet, the story of the modifications of species, so truly do all changes of the organisation register themselves thereon.
