“The ugliness at the heart of beauty. Is there always ugliness, do you suppose? Even when the object is very, very beautiful?”
“There is beauty in the midst of tragedy. As if beauty were condensing in the heart of ugliness. It's very strange.”
“Do you know how an ugly woman feels? Do you know what it is to be ugly all your life and inside to feel that you are beautiful? It is very rare.”
“No object is so beautiful that, under certain conditions, it will not look ugly”
“Beauty is but skin deep, ugly to the bone. And when beauty fades away, ugly claims its own.”
“You can stand on the cliff of my heart and shout nothing but ‘ugly’ through me. I promise all I will echo back is ‘Beauty, beauty, you have always been beauty”
