I think when it comes to botox and surgery, actresses should do it or not do it, but be honest about their choices. ~Debra Winger
#quotes #debra-winger #honesty

It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson

People think of art and science as being fundamentally opposed to each other, because art is about celebrating individual human creativity, and science is about discovering general principles, not about individual people. But in fact, the two have a lot in common, and the creative spirit is similar in both. ~Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
