“When happiness settles upon you like a butterfly, sit very quiet and remember the colors”

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

“She knew that she must sit quietly and patiently and, like her beloved butterflies, eventually he would come to rest.”

“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.”

“They seemed to come suddenly upon happiness as if they had surprised a butterfly in the winter woods.”

“‎"But when I fell in love with black, it contained all color. It wasn’t a negation of color. It was an acceptance. Because black encompasses all colors. Black is the most aristocratic color of all.... You can be quiet and it contains the whole thing." Happy birthday to Louise Nevelson (1899-1988)!”
