I don't know. Just because someone's pretty doesn't mean she's decent. Or vice versa. I'm not into appearances. I like flaws, I think they make things interesting.
Sarah Dessen
Image
Wonder... and not any expectation of advantage from its discoveries, is the first principle which prompts mankind to the study of Philosophy, of that science which pretends to lay open the concealed connections that unite the various appearances of nature.
Adam Smith
Image
Don't let appearances fool you. There's always only one reality!
Haruki Murakami
Image
It was about a girl who helps an ugly old woman who turns out to be a good fairy in disguise. Inner values versus shallow appearances.
Connie Willis
Image
The spirit of creation is the spirit of contradiction. It is the breakthrough of appearances toward an unknown reality.
Jean Cocteau
Image
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
People have always thought that I wasn't ambitious. They judged by appearances and were fooled. I was competitive. I wanted success and was willing to work for it.
Perry Como
Image
Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be or they neither are, nor appear to be or they are, and do not appear to be or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task.
Epictetus
Image
I will never work merely to make a reputation for myself, to be popular for appearances rather than for what I am. My task is to lead my country through service.
King Hussein I
Image
My feet never touched the ground. Lots of good groups with crazy and unique images. It was wild. I spent all of my time doing gigs, TV appearances, interviews, or recording. I could write a book -- and probably will.
Suzi Quatro
Image
In considering irregular appearances, there are certain very natural mistakes which must be avoided.
Bertrand Russell
Image
As I'm sure you know by now, most people aren't really very happy. Beyond their surface appearances, the smiles they wear for the rest of the world, most people are soul-sick.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Appearances are nothing.... And first of all they should not be feared, they are only dangerous to the weak.
Georges Bernanos
Image
Appearances are significant, and never more than in politics. You can always sway the crowd, provided you have a good story.
Cassandra Clare
Image
The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Appearances are deceitful, I know, but so long as they are, there's nothing like having them deceive for us instead of against us.
George Horace Lorimer
Image
Truth has scarce done so much good in the world as the false appearances of it have done hurt.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
I've told you before. You shouldn't judge people based on appearances and your preconceptions.
Masashi Kishimoto
Image
Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it.
Patrick Süskind
Image
I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.
Duane Michals
Image
I find no quality so easy for a man to counterfeit as devotion, though his life and manner are not conformable to it the essence of it is abstruse and occult, but the appearances easy and showy.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Among the numerous stratagems by which pride endeavors to recommend folly to regard, there is scarcely one that meets with less success than affectation, or a perpetual disguise of the real character by fictitious appearances.
Samuel Johnson
Image
I speak for a lot of church groups, youth groups, schools, colleges and do personal appearances. I've done conventions and trade shows. A lot of different little hats.
