Beauty may be skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
Meaning of the quote
This quote means that while someone may look attractive on the outside, their true character and personality may be unattractive or unpleasant. Just because someone is beautiful on the outside doesn't mean they are a good person on the inside. What matters most is what's inside a person, not just how they look.
