What is the source for this Maya Angelou quote?
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
I could be way off the mark, but I believe she did a series of quotes for a greeting card company a few years back. (Google tells me that she did, for Hallmark.) Someone sent me that very card - I still have it somewhere. I believe that Angelou wrote it specifically for Hallmark. Well, we've all gotta eat.

Ah, that could well be. Hallmark should institute a search feature...
