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

Serge Gainsbourg

Ugliness is better than beauty. It lasts longer and in the end, gravity will get us all.

Johnny Depp

I prefer ugliness to beauty, because ugliness endures.

Serge Gainsbourg

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

Mehmet Murat Ildan

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

Ugliness is more inventive than beauty. Beauty always follows certain camps. I think it's more amusing - ugliness - than beauty.

Umberto Eco

Genius lasts longer than beauty

Oscar Wilde

There is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty.

Oscar Wilde

You know what lasts longer than beauty? Being smart.

Gabrielle Union

It is because every one tinder Heaven recognizes beauty as beauty that the idea of ugliness exists.

Laozi

Since hearing beauty in something is essentially a positive response and hearing ugliness is negative, might it ultimately be more difficult for an open-minded listener to define ugliness than it is to define beauty?

Frank J. Oteri

Beauty lasts five minutes. Maybe longer if you have a good plastic surgeon.

Tia Carrere

Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.

Plotinus

Our society can no longer tolerate ugliness. You see that in cars, sofas and women. [But] ugliness also has a right to exist.

Rem Koolhaas

I don't think the possibility for beauty can be foreclosed, because beauty can take so many forms. There is beauty that arises from the unexpected, when our familiar perspectives are thrown off balance. There is also the beauty that paradoxically comes out of the tragic, that emerges because we are reminded of what is no longer there, that becomes powerful because of what is absent.
