THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES, man has considered himself beautiful. I rather suppose that man only believes in his own beauty out of pride; that he is not really beautiful and he suspects this himself; for why does he look on the face of his fellow-man with such scorn?
~Comte de Lautreamont, Les Chants de Maldoror
