Frases célebres de Scott Westerfeld

“¿Debía contarle a aquel nuevo imperfecto que, esa misma tarde,
iban a abrirle el cuerpo, a limarle los huesos para darles la forma adecuada, a estirar
o rellenar algunos, a quitarle el cartílago nasal y los pómulos y a sustituirlos por
plástico programable, a lijarle la piel y volver a sembrarla como a un campo de fútbol
en primavera? ¿Que le tallarían los ojos con láser para toda una vida de visión
perfecta, que le colocarían implantes reflectantes bajo el iris para añadir motas
doradas a su mediocre castaño? ¿Que le arreglarían todos los músculos con una
noche de electrócisis y le succionarían toda la grasa infantil para siempre? ¿Que le sustituirían los dientes por cerámicas fuertes como el ala de una aeronave suborbital
y blancas como la porcelana buena de la residencia?”

Uglies

“Todo el mundo estaba condicionado por el lugar donde nacía, confinado por sus propias creencias, pero al menos había que intentar que la mente se desarrollara más allá de dichos límites. De lo contrario, era como su uno viviera en una reserva, adorando a un puñado de falsos dioses.”

Scott Westerfeld

“Me enloquecía que estuviera tan lejos, fuera del alcance de mi doliente piel. Pero también había algo intenso en la incorporeidad, como si la distancia amplificase nuestra conexión.”

Scott Westerfeld

Love Is Hell

“Una franja en la que se mezclaban el naranja y el amarillo prendía fuego al cielo,
espléndida e inesperada, tan espectacular como los fuegos artificiales, aunque
cambiaba a un ritmo majestuoso y apenas perceptible. Tally estaba descubriendo que
así era la naturaleza. Peligrosa o bella. O ambas cosas a la vez.”

Scott Westerfeld: Frases en inglés

“And over all those sleepy weeks, the dream always ended the same way, with the dragon coming for the princess saying the same words every time….
