Everything that's realistic has some sort of ugliness in it. Even a flower is ugly when it wilts, a bird when it seeks its prey, the ocean when it becomes violent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do not think that any realism is beautiful.
People are reminded that it's not all ugliness in the world.
Ugliness is in a way superior to beauty because it lasts.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Nothing has an uglier look to us than reason, when it is not on our side.
It is as necessary for man to live in beauty rather than ugliness as it is necessary for him to have food for an aching belly or rest for a weary body.
It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
The beautiful remains so in ugly surroundings.
I'm not that obsessed with making representations of ugliness. Everything I've seen is beautiful.
