“Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.”
Jean Cocteau
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
Oscar Wilde
“I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.”
Winston Churchill
“No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly.”
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel
“The ugly and the stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat.”
“After all, what would be "beautiful" if the contradiction had not first become conscious of itself, if the ugly had not first said to itself: "I am ugly"?”
Friedrich Nietzsche
