“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.”
John Stuart Mill
“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.”
Oscar Wilde
“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
“The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.”
“War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.”
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
