The quote "If you crush a cockroach, you're a hero. If you kill a butterfly, you're a villain" is often attributed to the French writer **Jean-Paul Sartre**. This quote encapsulates a deep observation about human perception and the subjective nature of morality. It’s often mistakenly attributed to Nietzche but there’s no evidence it’s his , most likely reason for it it’s because of his work on morality and perceived values :
This thought-provoking quote encourages reflection on how our judgments are shaped and reminds us that the value we assign to different beings can deeply influence our perception of morality!!
