“At night there is no such thing as an ugly woman”
Ovid
“It's nothing to be born ugly. Sensibly, the ugly woman comes to terms with her ugliness and exploits it as a grace of nature. To become ugly means the beginning of a calamity, self-willed most of the time.”
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
“Last week I stated that this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister and now wish to withdraw that statement.”
Mark Twain
“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
