Butterfly
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man."
-- Chuang Chou(also transliterated as Zhuang Zi, Zhuang Zhou, Chuang Tzu, or Chuang Tse}, Chinese philosopher, about 4th century BCE.
