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?”

“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.”
