“… People of both sexes, whose looks are very indifferent at the beginning, may appear almost handsome on futher acquaintance. A well-informed mind, nice manners and a gentle nature — all of these are much more likely to contribute to a husband’s happiness than mere transient beauty.”
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke, Pg. 479
