As a frighteningly homely person myself, I've always had a fondness for an observation from our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, whose 210th birthday is today.
Mr. Lincoln grew a beard as an adult at the written suggestion of a young girl so he knew whereof he spoke in the looks department.
And in responding to members of both his own party and those across the aisle who questioned his constancy as the War between the States dragged on, he rejoined to charges of hypocrisy that "if I were indeed two-faced why would I choose this one?"
Honest Abe seems to have an insightful quote for any occasion which is why he's so often invoked by his successors in office. Well, all except one whom we all know already has 'all the best words.'
Going out on a limb here, I'm guessing "azzhole" isn't one of them but it should be.
