“We can change its color and texture when the mood strikes us, but in time it will return to its original form, just as Nature will in time turn our precisely laid-out cities into a weed-way.” 

-  A Natural History of the Senses, Diane Ackerman, page 84

Statement:

The hair removal industry makes relies on women who are insecure about their body hair. For some women, hair removal is harder and can feel like a futile resistance to attempt to be rid of it. For teenagers, unwanted hair can be a source of insecurity and embarrassment and this can carry far into adulthood. The quote reminds me that no matter what you do to change the hair on your head or your body, Nature will return the precise grooming and styling into its natural state.
