There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
John Constable
Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.
Jean Maurice Eugne Clment Cocteau
Understand this, I mean to arrive at the truth. The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie
Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way.
Og Mandino
Nothing is ugly as long as it is alive.
Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel
Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wildlife.
Muhammad Ali
Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.
Drew Barrymore
A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly.
Emily Bronte
Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics (A Mathematician's Apology).
Godfrey Harold Hardy
Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they've got nothing to lose.
Robin Williams
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.
Martin Luther King Jr
War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
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. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares about more than his personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill
Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.
Karl Marx
