[PW] Appearances Deceiving Quote

[Bob Boyce]

Craig--

 What about the famous quote from Moliere's Tartuffe? The play is all about deceptive appearances, and in one famous line, Mme. Pernelle says:

MADAME PERNELLE
My dear, appearances are oft deceiving,
And seeing shouldn't always be believing.

Subject: [PW] Appearances Deceiving Quote

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.
