Louis De Bernieres Quotes

Symmetry Is Only A Property Of Dead Things. Did You Ever See A Tree Or A Mountain That Was Symmetrical? It's Fine For Buildings, But If You Ever See A Symmetrical Human Face, You Will Have The Impression That You Ought To Think It Beautiful, But That In Fact You Find It Cold. The Human Heart Likes A Little Disorder In Its Geometry, Kyria Pelagia. Look At Your Face In A Mirror, Signorina, And You Will See That One Eyebrow Is A Little Higher Than The Other, That The Set Of The Lid Of Your Left Eye Is Such That The Eye Is A Fraction More Open That The Other. It Is These Things That Make You Both Attractive And Beautiful, Whereas ... Otherwise You Would Be A Statue. Symmetry Is For God, Not For Us.
