Today I finished "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister," by Gregory Maguire, and was pleasantly surprised at what a good book it is. Two quotes that struck me are:
"We're all mysteries, even to ourselves."
and
"Beauty is no end in itself, but if it makes our lives less miserable so that we might be more kind - well, then, let's have beauty, painted on our porcelain, hanging on our walls, ringing through our stories. We are a sorry tribe of beasts. We need all the help we can get."
