Examples of ugliness in a Sentence

1. Chris Columbus:

   I can understand the validity of showing people the ugliness of the world, but I also think there is a place for movies to leave people with a sense of hope. If your film isn't going to do that, I just don't think it's worth making.

2. Darrell Urban Black:

   Hatred seldom reaches its intended target it only reveals the true ugliness of the perpetrator.

3. Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu:

   When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty,There arises the recognition of ugliness.When they all know the good as good,There arises the recognition of evil.

4. H. G. Wells:

   There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.

5. Mark Judge:

   We're spiritual creatures, unlike animals, and when we see forms like a flower or great architecture or a pretty face, we can see both its form but also penetrate through to its spiritual core, which is why if we are alive to beauty as Father Dubay says, we will be sort of seized and raptured by something beautiful, beauty is truth, and truth is beauty. Hugh Hefner Playboy's why if Father Dubay go out on a date with someone who is beautiful, and they have no Christian charity and they're narcissistic and cruel, an ugliness creeps in. So don't let that happen to Father Dubay.
