"We humans are not beautiful...I think we should just aim for hygiene, a scalp not layered with sebum, an ear not sprouting sticky hair. One honest plastic surgeon told the [The Guardian's female] journalist that the first thousand pounds should go on a good haircut and a makeup session. He's right."

There's really nothing that can be done if you aren't born with that magic mix on your face that equals beauty. Intelligence and wit enhances [sic] it. Good bones really do matter. In fact, good bones can do it all. You'll be interestingly gorgeous at eighty. But woman have been trained not to want that. They've been trained to want artificial beauty. They cannot have it."
