Beauty and the Beast

I have to agree with you. It is true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that a good personality can be seen in the face even if you didn't initially find that face inherently attractive. I believe this for several reasons but mainly because of the opposite reasons. I mean that you might initially think someone is good looking but they turn out to be not a nice person and you start to see it in their face as they reveal an ugly personality. Or you look back on previous boyfriends/girlfriends and wonder how you ever found them attractive! Then there are others who might not be what we might call traditionally attractive or we might not be attracted to their physical features but we get to know them. There's a quote from Doctor Who about that: "You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful — and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick; but then there's other people. And you meet them and you think, "Not bad, they're okay," and when you get to know them ... their face just, sort of, becomes them, like their personality's written all over it, and they just — they turn into something so beautiful." I have described my other half with this quote, although I already though he was quite nice looking!
