Quote by Julian Huxley

Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire cat.

Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler but

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of "God" is gradually losing its influence and power. It compares God to the elusive and enigmatic Cheshire cat from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", implying that just like the fading smile of the cat, God's presence and significance are diminishing. The phrase "operationally" implies that the idea of God is becoming less relevant and practical in our day-to-day lives, hinting at the growing skepticism or disbelief in organized religion and the traditional understanding of God's role in the universe.

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents. They were raised to learn about love and death, and they lived out their lives passing from the sunny spots to the shady spots of this world.

Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in

Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly. They do not simply advertise for a share of a market that already exists: Their advertisements create new markets. It is a boom industry because it is influentially placed to create its own demand through the pairing of text with ads in women's magazines. The industry takes out ads and gets coverage; women get cut open. They pay their money and they takes their chances. As surgeons grow richer, they are able to command larger and brighter ad spaces.
