Literature

To whom thus ZEPHON, answering scorn with scorn.
Think not, revolted Spirit, thy shape the same,
Or undiminisht brightness, to be known
As when thou stoodst in Heav'n upright and pure;
That Glorie then, when thou no more wast good,
Departed from thee, and thou resembl'st now
Thy sin and place of doom obscure and foule.

— John Milton, Paradise Lost

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

— The Twits

Tabletop Games

"The character looks like hell - literally. The touch of the Abyss has warped her so badly that she cannot pass for normal in any way. Whatever humanity she might have possessed departed long ago; looks-wise, she has more in common with an insect, mollusk, cephalopod or screaming nightmare. In White Wolf terms, this could be considered the "Holy Shit, You Look Like A John Cobb Drawing" Flaw. A character with it would be right at home in some landscape out of Hieronymus Bosch, and has an effective Appearance rating below zero! Even heroes feel queasy in her presence, but demons don't mind a bit."

— The Horrific flaw, Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade - Infernalism

"David is the King brother who doesn't go out in public too often. While his brother Jeremy has made financial deals with Pentex, David's made darker ones. He still fits into a suit, more or less, but some of the bulges underneath the Versace are getting noticeable and embarrassing..."

He looks like a bar rag that's been twisted by the world's strongest man. Or a monster from some '80s horror movie. You know, back when it was all practical effects? Ugh! Nasty!"

— Fred Langston describing The-Thing-That-Had-Been-Hartman, Control

"They're not the type of Sith who've been physically corrupted by the Dark Side, are they? You know, how their sking gets all wrinkled and grey and gross?"
