Stanley didn't shy away from true humanity or from the ugliness that all people are capable of.
Matthew Modine

That was' one time when my technique absolutely deserted me, I must admit. There was a wax face that he had created himself to cover his own ugliness. I was in his clutches and I had to hit him in the face.
Fay Wray

The only sin is ugliness, and if we believed this with all our being, all other activities of the human spirit could be left to take care of themselves.
Herbert Read

The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

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

They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.
Imelda Marcos

Time takes the ugliness and horror out of death and turns it into beauty.
Dodie Smith

Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
Serge Gainsbourg

What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.
Joseph Brodsky

Why do we go around acting as though everything was friendship and reliability when basically everything everywhere is full of sudden hate and ugliness?
Anna Freud
