"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts everdy, 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."

That's a beautiful passage, go Roald Dahl!
It reminds me of the Beauty Tips by Sam Levenson (attributed to Audrey Hepburn)
"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone."
proving yet again that Roald Dahl was a GENIUS
I love Roald Dahl. Creepy feller. But awesome.
