“Though every city shall he hunt her down,
Until he shall driven her back to Hell,
There from whence envy first did let her loose.”
― Dante Alighieri, Inferno

“Since the mathematicians have grabbed hold of the theory of relativity, I myself no longer understand it.”
― Walter Isaacson, Einstein: His Life and Universe

“What you see is what I am. I've not had my boobs done or my arse lifted, no nips, no tucks. No ribs removed, nothing. Those little strumpets we see on the silver screen today are mostly bathroom sealant. They buy breasts over the counter. What would you like, honey, small, medium or large? They give us stick insects and tell us it's beauty. If someone of their size went for an audition jn my day she'd have been shown a square meal and told to come back when she was a stone heavier. What's wring with curves? Anyone over a ten these days is regarded not as an average-sized woman but a marketing opportunity. Cream for this, pills for that, superfluous hair, collagen injection, quick weight-loss diets. Where's it going to end? We're pressured to expend so much money and effort ti be the 'perfect' shape when that shape is physically attainable by only one woman in a million. It's the cold face of capitalism, boys and girls, preying in misguided expectations. Besides, I always found perfection an overrated commodity”

“Lo único que sé es que, un minuto estoy bien y la vida es dulce y no echo nada en falta y, al siguiente, me disperso, comienzo a desbarrar y otra vez me muero por escaparme.”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
