Absolute and entire ugliness is rare.
John Ruskin
There is a sort of charm in ugliness, if the person has some redeeming qualities and is only ugly enoughâ€
Josh Billings
There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
Jane Jacobs
Every persons true identity is beautiful, and much of the ugliness we observe in others was put inside of them by external influences.
Bryant McGill
What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Joseph Brodsky
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Ambrose Bierce
Ugliness like beauty is only skin deep
Unknown
In the matter of furnishing, I find a certain absence of ugliness far worse than ugliness.
Sidonie Gabrielle Colette
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
H. G. Wells
Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent.
Sharon Tate
