“In nature there is no blemish but the mind: none can be called deformed but the unkind”
William Shakespeare

Claude Simon
“You may have a body free of disease and deformity, and have no worries or grief at all; you may be unmindful of death, and night and day revel in pleasures; you may take everything as your own, and have no fear in your mind at all; but still, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, you shall fall under the power of the Messenger of Death.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib

“How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The sense of an entailed disadvantage -- the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centered, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.”
George Eliot
“He was asking all these questions, wanting to know what the deformity was. I asked him why he needed to know that and he told me that any time there was a birth defect or a deformity they had to know all about it because it had to be reported. But they did not report it.”
