What ever beauty may be it has for its basis order and for its essence unity Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.

Dorothy Parker

Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

Redd Foxx

True love survives all shocks: an affection originally produced by admiration for unusual beauty may not only survive the loss of that beauty, but may become more intense if the beauty has changed into ugliness through causes that bind the lovers together in tender associations.

Arthur Lynch

Beauty is only skin deep.

Thomas Overbury

The only ugliness is that of the heart, seen through the face. And though beauty be obvious, the only loveliness is invisible.

Herman Melville

... all ugliness passes, and beauty endures, excepting of the skin.

Edith Sitwell

Beauty is, in some way, boring. Even if its concept changes through the ages... a beautiful object must always follow certain rules. A beautiful nose shouldn't be longer than that or shorter than that, on the contrary, an ugly nose can be as long as the one of Pinocchio, or as big as the trunk of an elephant, or like the beak of an eagle, and so ugliness is unpredictable, and offers an infinite range of possibility. Beauty is finite, ugliness is infinite like God.

Umberto Eco

It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core.

Phyllis Diller

The ugliness of the beauty is much horrible than the ugliness of the ugliness.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly lies to the bone. Beauty dies and fades away, but ugly holds its own! Create and cultivate Inner Beauty that never fades away but grows and matures with Time!
