"a caterpillar doesn't just grow into a butterfly. a caterpillar must undergo metamorphosis, and a cocoon is where a caterpillar risks it all: enters total chaos, undergoes total rebuilding, and is born to a new way of living. only in taking the risk of entering that inert cocoon can the caterpillar go from dormancy to potency, from ugliness to beauty."

"J'aime bien les couchers de soleil.
Allons voir un coucher de soleil..."
("I am very fond of sunsets. Come, let us go look at a sunset...")

-- Chapter VI of Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince)
