"Go no further in that direction. "Those boys, like all quacks, have one great truth which they disfigure with more than one falsehood.
I've always been proud of my hair." "It'll grow out again," he said soothingly. "Besides, what I cut off didn't cover a spot an inch and a half in diameter. With hair like yours, it can't be noticed. If I'd thought it would disfigure your hair, girl, I'd have said, 'Let the old gold go! What an idea!" "I positively never heard of such a weird thing. And to think it's on me! And Oo-oo-oo-oo!
"Moreover, when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward.

I should not think you more unreasonable if you was in love with my face, and asked me to disfigure it to make you easy.
A sad-coloured handkerchief protected her head, its edge drawn straight across her brow in a fashion that would have disfigured ninety-nine women in a hundred. But no head-dress availed to disfigure that brow or the young imperious eyes beneath it. "Are you a friend of this man?" she asked in Italian. "He is my best friend," I answered her, in the same language. "Why have you done this to him?"
In early Vedic times, hardly one of those institutions which now so disfigure this religion existed among the people.
