Author of quotes: Scott Westerfeld

At least nature did not need surgery in order to be beautiful. Nature was just beautiful, that's all.

I don't want to remain a freak for the rest of my life. I want me to have big eyes and full lips, I want everyone to look at me and gasp. So that everyone who sees me immediately thinks: Who

But it's a lie, Tally. All your life you have seen beautiful faces. Your parents, your teachers - everyone over sixteen. But you weren't born expecting to be surrounded by handsome men all the time. The idea has been drilled into your head that everything else is ugliness. You were programmed that way.

There is a certain kind of beauty - attractiveness that is noticeable to everyone. Big eyes; lips are plump, like a child’s; smooth, clean skin; correct facial features and a thousand other little things. Subconsciously, people always look for these marks in others. No one can help but notice them, no matter where they grow up, no matter how they were brought up. Over millions of years of evolution, this has become an integral part of the human brain.

For most people, science is an empty phrase. They don't believe in evolution because the idea makes them feel uncomfortable.

If your Burger red expires
Return it - in it the worms thrive.

Any unusual concerns people more than a week, then their attention is dulled and suspicion turns out to be a joke.

And again no you free will, the normal biochemical processes in the brain that determine aesthetic preferences as predictable as buying a middle-aged man red sports car.

As people specializing in biology, I believed that freedom of will is a kind of biochemical processes in the brain. The molecules colliding with each other in a way that creates a sense of choice, although in reality it's just a dance of tiny gears - neurons and hormones, mating, as in the time mechanism, and finally issuing decisions. It's not you are using your body - it uses you.

Life is always insatiable.

At least something in her life changed: she became harder and harder...

To be a bird - it's probably also hard work. You imagine: the whole day wings to flap!

In childhood and adolescence, we all make vows. All you care about, everything seems important and main, but it has to grow, as of clothing, which becomes small.

Big cities are like these stones. May seem durable, but it is necessary to stir them and they will fall.
