[PW] Appearances Deceiving Quote

[Waters, Sally]

 And just yesterday I was singing "Richard Corey" to myself!
------
And he was rich-yes, richer than a king,   
  And admirably schooled in every grace:   
In fine, we thought that he was everything   
  To make us wish that we were in his place.   
   
So on we worked, and waited for the light,   
  And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;   
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,   
  Went home and put a bullet through his head.

--"Richard Corey", by Edwin Arlington Robinson

This is for me.  For something I'm writing, I'm considering having my
main
character give a quotation or a brief anecdote -- preferably literary or
involving famous people or characters -- that alludes to appearances
sometimes being deceiving.

I asked this on another list, one for writers, and was supplied with
quips,
insults, put-downs, and off the cuff descriptions.  Not what I'm looking
for.
If you ever watch the television series Criminal Minds, you'll see this
sort
of device used to bookend each episode.

Thanks,
Craig.
