"Life is continual creation, i.e. the formation of new, higher forms ... When existing forms are destroyed, this only means a new form is taking shape, invisible to us. We see what is outside us, but we don't see what is within us ... A caterpillar sees itself shrivel up, but doesn't see the butterfly which flies out of it."
–– Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), Russian writer
