“The ugly and stupid have the best of it in this world. They can sit at their ease and gape at the play. If they know nothing of victory, they are at least spared the knowledge of defeat. They live as we all should live-- undisturbed, indifferent, and without disquiet. They never bring ruin upon others, nor ever receive it from alien hands. Your rank and wealth, Henry; my brains, such as they are-- my art, whatever it may be worth; Dorian Gray's good looks-- we shall all suffer for what the gods have given us, suffer terribly.”

“Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good?”

“Nice words and nice appearance doesn't conclude that someone is nice, i believe that the nicer you look, the more deceptive you appear.”

“For all these stars,
nothing is new.
They’ve seen all kinds of wars
and miracles, too.
They know the messengers with their holy books
will smile and wash their hands in blood.
They know the politicians with their good looks
will make the poor eat pies of mud.
They’ve seen the Earth freeze
and then burn with greed.
They’ve seen the trees
and the seas emptied.
Yet, you won’t hear their sneers
when a man arrives
and, having experienced a number of years,
proclaims: 'I have lived!'
Because nothing is new under these stars:
the lies, the love, the memories and scars,
the ruin, the revolution, the fakes and true,
the families, the friends, none of it is new.
All of it—even the me and you.”

“A homely face does not guarantee a homely character. Appearance is the body, character is the spirit, and the soul bears the most vital qualities.”

“Personally, I mistrust all handsome men. The superficial pleasures of this life come too easily to them, and they seem to walk the world as though they themselves were personally responsible for their own good looks. I don't mind a woman being pretty. That's different. But in a man, I'm sorry, but somehow or other I find it downright offensive.”

“Success, Bill Gates said, is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
Same goes for good looking people. Beauty reduces the consciousness that it takes more to catch the heart of the right partner.
We often think being good at one thing is all we need to succeed, but hey, success is less of what you are good at, but more of what you are good for.
Of what use is beauty with no brains, culture without character, knowledge that does not impact, or skill that does not add value?
For any seemingly "good" thing to last, great attention we must pay to the unseen intrinsic component that sustains it.”
― The Soldier Within

“Good looks can be limiting in several ways. For some jobs, my looks went against me. There is a general perception that an attractive woman may not be competent or intelligent, and may be high maintenance.”

“Marry me!” The words quaked from deep within the sepulchre of his rib cage. He could hear sweet songs shoot and soar from his soul. The angels sighed and rejoiced.”

“Then his proud bearing, his manners, his elegance, his good looks — and who could be altogether insensitive to them? — powerfully suggested to me that here at last I had found someone who came up to my ideal of a friend.”

“Beautiful people were led to think their beauty needed to go somewhere. On a person’s phone. In a magazine. Outwards. Why do anything with it? Maybe all the models on runways loved it, but maybe most just walked in because they fit inside the doors. Here was a pretty man who did not share himself and very much could have. It was rare to meet someone with that kind of jaw, sweet eyes, and those arms, who did not fall into modeling or influencing. There was magic in this. Lorenzo inadvertently alchemized his reserve into a valuable currency: the only time someone could see his beauty was if they were in the same room he was in or if they heard about it from someone who was there. Lorenzo had planted a kind of beauty in the world not captured by a camera, but a beauty that passed through and could only ever be run into.”

“The least you can do is tell me why you didn't stop me,' he said before I could give in to the curiosity and reach out with my senses.
I had no idea how I could answer when I didn't fully understand it myself.
One side of his lips quirked up. 'I'm sure it's more than my disarming good looks.'
I wrinkled my nose. 'Of course.'
Another short, surprised-sounding laugh left him. 'I think you just insulted me.'
Chagrined, I winced. 'That's not what I meant-
'You've wounded me, Princess.'
'I highly doubt that. You have to be more than well aware of your appearance.'
'I am. It has led to quite a few people making questionable life choices.”

“Her recriminations and sarcasms sounded like the babblings of fools or school children; she belonged to that class of spoiled daughters whose whims can never be satisfied. Her mother, she said, was envious of her good looks. Her father had forgotten her; Jacob didn't love her. It never seemed to occur to her that she should try being lovable.”

“Attractive people are often unaware of the power their good looks give them – they attribute it to their skills.”
