Exterior Quotes

“It was a strange monster, for beneath its exterior it was frightened and sickened by its own violence. It chastised itself for its savagery. And sometimes it had no heart for violence and rebelled against it utterly.”
― Kristin Cashore, Graceling

“Beautiful is he who recognizes what is truly beautiful,
Even if the surface is ugly.
Truthful is he who says what is true,
Even if the truth is ugly.
Ugly is he who measures beauty by its exterior,
Without first weighing the interior.
And ugly is the man who judges harshly what he sees looking out,
Without first judging what he sees in the mirror.

“Our destiny is not mapped out for us by some exterior power; we map it out for ourselves. What we think and do in the present determines what shall happen to us in the future.”
― Christian D. Larson

“What treaty is it that finally separates those two territories, the hard resolve of our exteriors and the terrible disaster on our insides?”
― Ben Marcus, The Flame Alphabet

“Civil order mattered.
Zoe didn’t know why Farah continued to wear the headscarf, but most Middle-Eastern women wore modest clothing to anchor themselves to a moral order, in an upside-down world.
Zoe wore the chador as a protective shell, to erase herself, to avoid thinking, to envelop herself in the complete custody of her adopted Muslim sisters. In their care she would come out healed, able to process the bigotry that caused the murder of her Jewish parents. Then, when she was whole again, she would reclaim her place in the world.
Though others couldn’t see it, behind the nameless, shapeless, Middle-Eastern garb, she was healing. The chador cocooned and nurtured her. Dour exteriors meant blossoming interiors . . . to Zoe. Judaism centered her, but Islam shielded her. Both served their purpose . . . for now.”
― Michael Benzehabe

“An insult bestowed on your interior and exterior personality; for causes beyond control, kills you innumerably, till the last breath.”
― Aniruddha Sastikar

“Exterior: the jungle. Interior: Dark night of the white man’s soul.”
― Andrew Durbin, Mature Themes

“The house was squashed like a mushroom by a thatched roof that hung far out over the walls. A pair of windows sparkled on either side of a rounded, heavy wooden door. There was nothing particularly creepy or witch-ish about it at all, except for maybe some leeks that grew on the roof around the higgledy-piggledy chimney (out of which wafted a lovely, homey-smelling smoke).
Next to the cottage was a small fenced-in kitchen garden, and even in the low light Rapunzel could see it wasn't given over just to herbs and vegetables. Tall rockets of flowers and pretty, feathery foliage shot colorfully out of the corners.
There was even a neat flagstone path that led up to the front door.
"Witch?" Flynn asked, skeptical. "Or, like... crunchy earth mother type who drinks herbal teas and pretends the goddess speaks to her?”
― Liz Braswell, What Once Was Mine

“Disgust plays a role in sexuality analogous to its role in food selection by guiding people to the narrow class of culturally acceptable sexual partners and sexual acts. Once again, disgust turns off desire and motivates concerns about purification, separation, and cleansing. Disgust also gives us a queasy feeling when we see people with skin lesions, deformities, amputations, extreme obesity or thinness, and other violations of the culturally ideal outer envelope of the human body. It is the exterior that matters: Cancer in the lungs or a missing kidney is not disgusting; a tumor on the face or a missing finger is.”
― Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom

“La belleza exterior, la puedes encontrar en cualquier lado, hoy en día las cirugías abundan. Más la belleza interior, siendo más importante, es la que menos abunda.”

“la búsqueda de respuestas en el exterior nunca estará completa sin una búsqueda paralela en nuestro interior, para así reconocer las deficiencias inherentes a nuestra condición humana y los efectos que causan en nuestra percepción.”
― Nordstelo, El Universo Antrópico

“Comprender es asumir el lenguaje propio —nuestra identificación desde el lenguaje conocido, el lenguaje que somos— con el de la «nueva» proposición. Ver con los ojos de «nuestras» palabras los conceptos de las ajenas.”
― Emilio Lledó, El surco del tiempo: meditaciones sobre el mito platónico de la escritura y la memoria

“Paper thin heart
but so many words written
on its exterior.”
― Nitya Prakash

“Timpul e doar un element de ordine exterioară.”
― Stelian Tănase, Skepsis

“The cab pulled up to our building on St. Louis between Decatur and Chartres Streets, a three-story cement stucco town house in the old creole style. It was painted pale pink and covered with delicate ironwork like a lace veil. It had an arched opening with a wrought-iron gate and an old metal lock.
Inside, the ground-floor hallway had high, rounded ceilings and a dark caramel tiled floor leading to a garden in the back. It was drippy and heavy with the scent of jasmine, just like me.
Wisteria rolled down from the top-floor balconies all the way to the garden below and curled around the legs of the iron tables and chairs like beautiful prison shackles. Everything about the building looked like it was from another century, and having never been to New Orleans I did not yet know that everything was.”
― Margot Berwin, Scent of Darkness

“If the heart is closed, the most skillfully crafted words expertly honed to the finest edge have no means by which to penetrate the hardened exterior. And this is the condition of the exterior that insures the death of the interior. Therefore, I will forever enhance my skill and hone my edge so that some exterior part of the heart might be breeched so that the interior might be saved.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“The home I grew up in was something you might expect to find in an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Domed ceilings with ornate moldings, inlaid marble floors, and more powder rooms than people. It was a small palace. Mom loved French architecture and décor and would take trips overseas to find unique antiques. There were two exterior swimming pools, a tennis court, a pavilion, plus a rose garden, Italian stepped stone fountains, and grounds galore. A branch of the Trinity River flowed near stone-covered walking paths, swaths of carefully tended grass in green spaces waving nearby.”
― Mary Hollis Huddleston, Piece of Cake
