I guess I could agree with most of them. This one made me laugh though.
Beauty is only skin deep.
---A balm for the ugly, who cannot help but harbor hostility because of their condition. The plain and ugly often mask hostility behind an unctuous or affable facade which is sometimes mistaken for "inner beauty."
Mostly because it's referenced so much everywhere. I don't know how accurate the info is there but it's interesting.
I still think the quote holds value. We only see the beauty on the outside, but have no clue of their lifestyles and personalities. We know there's a lot more to people than their looks. The quotes shows that some people possess qualities outside the boundaries of their appearance. I guess it's similar to judging a book by its cover. Assuming that someone is "beautiful" or not when you first look at them. Physically? Yes. But as a well-rounded, full individual, no.
