“I hated my face, I found it odious, and even suspected that there was some mean expression in it, and therefore every time I came to work I made a painful effort to carry myself as independently as possible, so as not to be suspected of meanness, and to express as much nobility as possible with my face. “Let it not be a beautiful face,” I thought, “but, to make up for that, let it be noble, an expressive, and, above all, an extremely intelligent one.” Yet I knew, with certainty and suffering, that I would never be able to express all those perfections with the face I had. And I would have been quite satisfied with intelligence. Let’s even say I would have agreed to a mean expression, provided only that at the same time my face might be found terribly intelligent.” — Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
