Quote by Christian Schultz-Gerstein

“Dieses ranzige Altherren-Gerede von "Männern in den Jahren der Reife", die backfischhaften Übertreibungen eines geistig neureichen Kulturspießers, dessen "Liebe zur Literatur" sich nicht einfach von selbst versteht, sondern sich "gleich dem Universum" ausdehnt, die kleinmütigen Oberschüler-Ressentiments gegen "fette Autopfleger sonntags am Straßenrand", die ständige Angeberei mit der eigenen Bildung, die wahllos noch das Geräusch des TV-Zeilen-Transformators in das "trizein" des Homer verwandelt - all diese dumpfen Attitüden, mit denen Strauß um Aufnahme in den Kreis der geistigen Elite bettelt: Das kann es ja wohl nicht sein, was die Strauß-Enthusiasten so betört; denn dieses Dörrzeug aus dem humanistischen Herbarium ist bei Hans Carossa und in jeder Morgenandacht genausogut zu haben.”

“What are these? They look like scars." Meryn glanced down and realized he was talking about her stretch marks. Had he never seen stretch marks before?” “Those are called stretch marks." "Stretch marks? How did you get them?" "Human females get them when we grow. If we grow too fast our skin rips apart and heals. It's a very painful process." Meryn lied through her teeth. There was no way she was going to discuss stretch marks after the most mind blowing sex of her life. Nope. Wasn't going to happen. Aiden's expression became reverent. "Human females are amazing creatures, you endure so much pain yet are so fragile." He kissed each shiny line. I'm going to hell.”

“So what if you have stretch marks. So what if you have cellulite. So what if you don’t have a big butt. So what if you don’t have large breasts. So what if you don’t have flawless skin. So what if you don’t have a body that other people deem to be perfect. So what! Don’t allow people to define YOUR beauty. Hold your head up high and know who YOU are! DO NOT EVER allow anybody to make you feel as if you’re NOT enough. You ARE enough! BELIEVE that.”

“Society, advertising, and magazines want women to believe that thinness and perfect skin are synonymous with beauty, that it’s impossible to be attractive without these unattainable standards. But this is clearly wrong; most men love curves, stretch marks, and even your cellulitis that you abhor. So, caress them with a smile because they are the very sign of your femininity.”

“In the rush to market, experiments have been carried out on a large scale in the natural environment, when controlled laboratory testing would have been far more effective and informative. The British Government sanctioned large-scale planting of genetically modified plants in order to test whether their pollen spread only a few meters (as expected) and to make sure that the new gene would not be spontaneously incorporated into other species of plants (ditto). It turned out that the pollen spread for miles, and the new genes could transfer without difficulty to other plants. Effects like this could, for example, create pesticide-resistant strains of weeds. By the time the experiment had revealed that the conventional wisdom was wrong, there was no way to get the pollen, or its genes, back. Simple laboratory tests – such as painting pollen onto plants directly – could have established the same facts more cheaply, without releasing anything into the environment. It was a bit like fireproofing chemical by spraying it on a city and setting the place alight, with the added twist that the ‘fire’ might spread indefinitely if, contrary to expectations, it took hold.”
