After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
Washington Irving
But alas, they are all sadly deficient, because they leave us under the domination of political and religious prejudices; and they are as inefficient as the sleepy dose of an ordinary sermon.
Adam Weishaupt
I always looked upon the acts of racist exclusion, or insult, as pitiable, from the other person. I never absorbed that. I always thought that there was something deficient about such people.
Toni Morrison
No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Our lives are not what we deserve; they are, let us agree, in many ways deficient.
Salman Rushdie
The American Race is marked by a brown complexion; long, black, lank hair; and deficient beard.
Samuel George Morton

William John Wills
