Affectation is certain deformity; by forming themselves on fantastic models, the young begin with being ridiculous, and often end in being vicious.
Robert Blair
Art is significant deformity.
Roger Fry
His modesty amounts to deformity.
Margot Asquith
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.
Baruch Spinoza
It seems to be a law of nature that no man, unless he has some obvious physical deformity, ever is loth to sit for his portrait.
Max Beerbohm
No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.
John Ruskin
Old age has deformities enough of its own. It should never add to them the deformity of vice.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
