"Pria dan wanita membuat kecantikan mereka sendiri atau keburukan mereka sendiri. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton berbicara dalam salah satu novelnya tentang seorang lelaki "yang lebih buruk daripada bisnisnya;" dan, jika kita dapat membacanya, setiap manusia membawa hidupnya di wajahnya, dan berpenampilan baik atau sebaliknya karena kehidupan itu baik atau jahat. Pada fitur kami pahat-pahatan pikiran dan emosi yang halus bekerja selamanya."

--- Alexander Smith

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Men and women make their own beauty or their own ugliness. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton speaks in one of his novels of a man "who was uglier than he had any business to be;" and, if we could but read it, every human being carries his life in his face, and is good-looking or the reverse as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisels of thought and emotion are eternally at work.
