Is that why you've been pushing me away? Because of how you look? [...] I waited for you my whole life. Yearned for you my whole life. After Tersa told me you were coming, I spent seven hundred years searching for you[....] I never gave a damn what you looked like--tall, short, fat, thin, plain, beautiful, ugly. Why would I care about what you looked like? The flesh was the shell that housed the glory[....] Even if I couldn't be your physical lover, there are other ways to be a lover and I know them all. So don't stand there and tell me how you feel depends on how you look!
Harper Pitt: I don't understand this. If I didn't ever see you before, and I don't think I did, then I don't think you should be here in this hallucination because in my experience the mind which is where hallucinations come from shouldn't be able to make anything up that wasn't there to start with that didn't enter it from experience from the real world. Imagination can't create anything new can it? It only recycles bits and pieces from the world and reassembles them into visions. Am I making sense right now? Prior Walter: Given the circumstances, yes. Harper Pitt: So when we think we've escaped the unbearable ordinariness and, well, untruthfulness of our lives it's really only the same old ordinariness and falseness rearranged into the appearance of novelty and truth. Nothing unknown is knowable.
Here's an example of how it wastes some time. To be judged on or to be talked about on appearance
Sister Encarnación: Where are your robes, Ignacio? Nacho: They were... stinky. These are my recreational clothes. Sister Encarnación: They look expensive. Nacho: Thank you. I mean... they might have the appearance of riches, but beneath the clothes, we find a man... and beneath the man we find... his... nucleus. Sister Encarnación: Nucleus?
[Jack, with the appearance of a 68-year old but only 17 years old, arrives at his graduation ceremony] Lawrence Woodruff: [addressing the audience] I would like to present, to read the graduation speech, this year's Valedictorian: Mr Jack Charles Powell... [a round of applause approves of this choice] Jack: [taking the stand] Thank you... Aristotle. [Due to his aged condition he has to take out spectacles to read the speech] Eric's Brother: Go Jack! Go get them! Jack: I got it, Eric, I'm cool... I don't have very much time these days so I'll make it quick. Like my life. You know, as we come to the end of this phase of our lives, we find ourselves trying to remember the good times and trying to forget the bad times, and we find ourselves thinking about the future. We start to worry , thinking, "What am I gonna do? Where am I gonna be in ten years?" But I say to you, "Hey, look at me!" Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this earth. Life is fleeting. And if you're ever distressed, cast your eyes to the summer sky when the stars are strung across the velvety night. And when a shooting star streaks through the blackness, turning night into day... make a wish and think of me. Make your life spectacular. I know I did. I made it, Mom. I'm a grown-up.
The leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance.
The devil, depend upon it, can sometimes do a very gentlemanly thing.
Merovingian: What is the reason? Soon the why and the reason are gone and all that matters is the feeling. This is the nature of the universe. We struggle against it, we fight to deny it; but it is of course a lie. Beneath our poised appearance we are completely out of control.
Capt. Ross: Your honor, it's become obvious that Lt. Kaffee's intention this afternoon are to smear a high ranking Marine officer in the desperate hope that the mere appearance of impropriety will win him points with the court members. Now, it is my recommendation, sir, that Lt. Kaffee be reprimanded for his conduct and that this witness be excused with the court's deepest apologies. Judge Randolph: Overruled. Capt. Ross: Your honor... Judge Randolph: Your objection is noted.
Gus Freely - TV Reporter: Hospital sources have no explanation for the sudden disappearance of the mysterious man now known as 'The Flamer'. He was last seen here... captured on a home video camera running in flames through Arlington National Cemetery. Police have been searching the hospital and the area for the human torch, but they are no leads at present.
Jack: [in Peter's Apartment] You stay here a lot, huh? Lucy: [uncomfortably lying] Oh, you know, feed the cat. Jack: Peter doesn't have a cat. Lucy: [winces, but is interrrupted by the appearance of a cat, looking for food. She goes to it and picks it up] Oh, hello, honey, hi... [discreetly checks tag for name] Lucy: ... *Fluffy*! Oh, Fluffy...
Natty: Washington is the only town in America where the appearance of something is much more important than the reality. For instance, if you go into a public restroom and you come out too soon, you didn't wash your hands. If you stay in too long, you molested someone. If you stay in there just the right amount of time, you're slick.
Daniel: [rapping and playing with Dinosaur toys] I'm a Raptor, Doin' what I can, gonna eat everything 'til the appearance of man. Yo yo baby I'm livin' below the soil, I'll be back but i'm comin' as oil
Lies about your physical appearance in Hollywood creep in like a nasty serpent in your bed. It's awful. "Who's got the best outfit?", "Who's makeup artist is terrible?", etc... I've really been learning that I have to choose to believe that it is not my clothes or my hair or my makeup that is going to make me shine. It's a battle I fight everyday with myself.
Sydney: You believe someone stole your mother's body? Miss Parker: Except for this Scotch-induced earthquake rattling between my ears, I'm not sure exactly what to believe anymore. Broots: Let's face it, Sydney. Catherine Parker's body being gone fits in with all the other bizarre happenings around here. The reappearance of Edna Raines, who, after 30 years, everyone thought was dead... Miss Parker: And now who really is dead, thanks to the Bald Butcher she called hubby.
Sayuri Nitta: [to Nobu, after the match is won] I see now why you like sumo, you can never judge a man's power by his appearance alone.
Woman in Bookstore: [This dialog - in an apparent nod and wink to the change of actress for the character from prior films in "The Mummy" series - accompanies the first appearance of Evelyn O'Connell] Mrs. O'Connell, is it true that the Scarlet O' Kiefe character is based on you? Evelyn O'Connell: No. I can honestly say she is a completely different person. [... as the camera reveals her face to show that it is Maria Bello - not Rachel Weisz - playing the role]
I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.
I'm wondering whether I can explain,
Some people's affability is more deadly than the violence of coarser souls.
Boss Tweed: The appearance of law must be upheld, especially when it's being broken.
It's not about hair loss. It's about face GAIN. I hear the term, 'receding hairline'. I say, 'Expanding Facial Fronteir'. One day I might have a whole head of FACE.
Appearances are not reality; but they often can be a convincing alternative to it. You can control appearances most of the time, but facts are what they are. When the facts are too sharp, you can craft a cheerful version of the situation and cover the facts the way that you can covered a battered old four-slice toaster with a knitted cozy featuring images of kittens.
People who need to bully you are the easiest to push around.
Your own family resemblances are a frustrating code, most easily read by those who know you least.
Cole was meticulous to a fault; office scuttlebut had it that he never went out in public without first having his shoelaces ironed.
The Creator has
People do not wish to appear foolish; to avoid the appearance of foolishness, they are willing to remain actually fools.
I can be an arrogant people If I have to, or when the situation demands me to act so. It is one way for me to make arrogance useful. So if I know not people well, I don't judge them.
