I have always considered my face a convenience rather than an ornament.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) American writer, physician.
The tartness of his face sours ripe grapes.
He had a face like a benediction.
Miguel de Cervantes (1574-1616) Spanish author.
My face looks like a wedding cake that has been left out in the rain.
W H. Auden (1907-1973) Anglo-American poet.
I have eyes like those of a dead pig.
Marlon Brando (b.1924) American film poet.
I guess I look like a rock quarry that someone has dynamited.
Charles Bronson (b.1922) American film actor.
As a beauty I’m not a great star. Others are handsome far; But my face I don’t mind it Because I’m behind it; It’s the folks out in front that I jar.
A.H.Euwer (b.187) American author.
Once seen, that antique mapped face is never forgotten a bloodhound with a head cold, a man who is simultaneously biting on a bad lobster and caught by the neck in lift-doors, a mad scientist’s amalgam of Wallace Beery and Yogi Bear.
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell (1903-1950) British author
“what is your fortune, my pretty maid?” “ My face is my fortune Sir” She said.
There is in every human countenance, either a history or a prophecy, which must sadden, or a least soften, every reflecting observer.
Coleridge.
A good face is the best letter of recommendation.
Queen Elizabeth.
Look in the face of the person to whom you are speaking if you wish to know his real sentiments, for he can command his words more easily than his countenance.
Chesterfield.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for an invalid as healthy weather.
Franklin.
Your face is a book, where men may read strange matters.
Shakespeare.
We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins, at once, to refine a man’s features; any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.
Thoreau.
The check is apter than the tongue to tell an errand.
Shakespeare.
All men’s faces are true, whatsoever their hands are.
Shakespeare.
Truth makes the face of that person shine who speaks and owns it.
South.
There are faces so fluid with expression, so flushed and rippled by the play of thought, that we can hardly find what the mere features really are. When the delicious beauty of lineaments loss its power, it is because a more delicious beauty has appeared that an interior and durable form has been disclosed.
Emerson.
Faces are as legible as books, with this in their favor, that they may be perused in much less time, and are less liable to be misunderstood.
F.Saunders.
The faces which have charmed us the most escape us the soonest.
Walter Scott.
The countenance is the title page which heralds the contents of the humans volume, but like other title pages it sometimes puzzles, often misleads and often say nothing to the purpose.
W.Matthews.
Features are the visible expression of the soul. The out ward manifestation of the feeling and character within.
Tryon Edwards.
I more and more see this, that we judge men’s abilities less from what they say or do, than from what they look. The man’s face that gives him weight. His doings help, but no more than his brow.
Charles Buxton.
