Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty is merely superficial and does not define an individual's true essence. It implies that ugliness, on the other hand, goes beyond superficial appearances and stems from the character and inner qualities of a person. In essence, it highlights the importance of looking beyond outer beauty and focusing on deeper qualities such as kindness, compassion, and integrity, which ultimately determine one's true attractiveness.
