And it's completely not mutually exclusive at all for how you want to look, how you take care of yourself, how you want to be, what you want to look like."

"Naturally, every age thinks that all ages before it were prejudiced, and today we think this more than ever and are just as wrong as all previous ages that thought so. How often have we not seen the truth condemned! It is sad but unfortunately true that man learns nothing from history."
