“Nature didn't need an operation to be beautiful. It just was.”
“The physical beauty…also cleared her mind of worries. Every day seemed to change the mountain, the sky, and the surrounding valleys, making them spectacular in a completely new way. Nature, at least, didn’t need an operation to be beautiful. It just was.”
“Everybody knows that orthopedic science provides beautiful false noses for people who have lost their noses naturally or as a result of an operation.”
“Art needs an operation”
“... Nature almost surely operates by combining chance with necessity, randomness with determinism...”
“As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table.”
