![“[M]y sensitivity was unfortunately even more monstrous than my grotesqueness. Yes, my grotesqueness; I possess the courage to judge myself without pity, and to call things by their proper names. If only you knew... how I hate my own self, how much I hate my ugliness, yet never so much as I detest…” quote by Igino Ugo Tarchetti](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b67/igino-ugo-tarchetti-243529_courage_m-y-sensitivity-was-unfortunately-even-m_1456709.jpg)
![“To me, that ugliness, that grotesqueness - that's the essence [of life]. That's where you realize, it's not about all the consonance and the harmony. It's all the parts that are wrong that help explain why we're drawn to something - what the mystery is - just as much as the beautiful things.” quote by Carrie Brownstein](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a1a/carrie-brownstein-1580_beautiful_to-me-that-ugliness-that-grotesqueness-t_1087725.jpg)
