“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”

“Human nature must be something which always remains one and the same, but which may be carried out in manifold ways.”

“The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.”

“The last thing I need is to morph into one of those people who's always wearing black and doodling guns and bombs on her notebook.”
