Beautiful all throug (Patreon)

“She was--I keep using the past tense; I ought to say she is--one of  those people who, at first sight, look plain, are quiet, unassertive,  unmemorable even. But who, when they start to talk and you get to know  them, become more and more attractive and impressive, and you see that  in fact they are beautiful. Not conventionally beautiful, not celebrity  beautiful, but beautiful all through.”     
 ―       Aidan Chambers,     Dying to Know You
