Earth Quote by Iris Apfel

“I don't happen to approve of plastic surgery. I think God put plastic surgeons on this earth for good reasons - people get burned or people might have a nose like Pinocchio and that has to be fixed. But to just chop yourself up to look a few years younger? You could come out looking like a Picasso picture. And you still have your hands to contend with. If you're 70, no one is going to think you're 35. The whole concept is kind of stupid.”

There is something more important than any ultimate weapon. That is the ultimate position-the position of total control over Earth that lies somewhere out in space.
