It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde
Sorrow makes an ugly face odious.
Samuel Richardson
The beautiful has but one type, the ugly has a thousand.
Victor Hugo
He was ugly, himself. Weird-ugly. But ugliness in a man doesn't matter, much. Ugliness in a woman is her life.
Joyce Carol Oates
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.
Colette, Sidonie Gabrielle
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a sort of charm in ugliness, if the person has some redeeming qualities and is only ugly enoughâ€
Josh Billings
We should keep strict vigil on the already controlled senses so that they do not get an opportunity to raise their ugly heads. Pure diet is of great help in this regard i.e. in controlling sensual desires and anger
Atharva Veda
A woman would rather visit her own grave than the place where she has been young and beautiful after she is aged and ugly.
Thomas Hardy
I consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.
Pierre Charles Baudleaire
Is it too much to ask that women be spared the daily struggle for superhuman beauty in order to offer it to the caresses of a subhumanly ugly mate?
Germaine Greer
Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there
