Richard Brinsley Sheridan Quote

Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect beauty; now, there is something consoling and encouraging in ugliness.


The duenna, an opera. Oxberry's ed (ed. 1818)


Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect beauty; now, there is something consoling and encouraging in ugliness.

Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect beauty; now, there is something consoling and encouraging in ugliness.

Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect beauty; now, there is something consoling and encouraging in ugliness.

Nothing keeps me in such awe as perfect beauty; now, there is something consoling and encouraging in ugliness.
