Quotes

  • Maria Vhas quoted11 years ago
    But the funny thing is that Mrs Twit wasn't born ugly. She'd had quite a nice face when she was young. The ugliness had grown upon her year by year as she got older.
    Why would that happen? I'll tell you why.
    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 it gets so ugly 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 they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
    Nothing shone out of Mrs Twit's face.

    Mr Twit felt that this hairiness made him look terrifically wise and grand. But in truth he was neither of these things. Mr Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.
  • Maria Vhas quoted11 years ago
    What a lot of hairy-faced men there are around nowadays.
    When a man grows hair all over his face it is impossible to tell what he really looks like.
    Perhaps that's why he does it. He'd rather you didn't know.
