Do you agree with Roald Dahl on ugly people?

Its not as simple as what the children's book describes but its true in a more complex way and for a children's book I think its a good principle to teach children, because as I said the principle is true but in a more complex way.

Most people think physical beauty is simply what you were born with, like you are born pretty or ugly and that couldnt be further from the truth
 
It’s a quote from Fantastic Mr. Fox, a book by Dahl adapted into an animated film by Wes Anderson.

It’s a joke. ;)

To be fair the book itself isn't really talking about "beauty" but rather expression.

That is still a bit simplistic of course as putting on a smile is rather easy yet honestly I do find first impressions are often pretty revealing, people are much better at judging someones personality than they are at hiding their own.
 
I'm a James and the Giant Peach man, myself.
