The quote is: "Beauty is only skin deep."Basically it means that that which is pleasing to the eye doesn't necessarily guarantee that the person will be "beautiful" through and through. They could have a horrible character, be a liar and a cheat, mean, disgusting and/ or evil. So, "don't judge a book by its cover"."Looks aren't everything." Source(s): Life and a lot of looking.
