The butterflies symbolize metamorphosis and the beauty that comes pains of change.
The quote is a personal reminder for me that if I hide, shrinking from the world, then things will remain static and unchanging. If I have the courage to take that next step and try new things, and the courage to change, then a whole promising world of possibilities open up that would not have been there otherwise.
