“Kathleen Kelly: Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today, I saw one. It got on at 42nd, and off at 59th, where, I assume it was going to Bloomingdale's to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake - as almost all hats are.”  - You've got mail quotes (Movie)

Free the butterflies-
I'll be there
to see them soar

Forever in your dreams
