She was smart, tart, dry as a Martini,
Ah, but underneath,
She was all... heart, something by Puccini,
Ah, but underneath,
In the depths... of... her interior
Were fears... she... was inferior
And some... thing... even eerier --
But no one dared to query her superior exterior!

"Underneath", from Follies (1971)Stephen Sondheim

It's not a pretty face, I grant you. But underneath its flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
He doesn't have to be the funniest guy in the room. Now, he's a guy who is much more secure. He's not afraid to look in the mirror anymore. Underneath all the (stuff) that used to get in his way was a heart of gold. He's really a super-compassionate human being. He's so smart. He's always got good advice. I've gotten free therapy from him for years. He's very intuitive.
Matthew Perry
I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample under foot. Men are not superior by reason of the accidents of race or color. They are superior who have the best heart — the best brain.
Robert G. Ingersoll
There are three kinds of devotees: superior, mediocre, and inferior. The inferior devotee says, "God is out there." According to him God is different from His creation. The mediocre devotee says: "God is the Antaryami, the Inner Guide. God dwells in everyone's heart." The mediocre devotee sees God in the heart. But the superior devotee sees that God alone has become everything; He alone has become the twenty-four cosmic principles. He finds that everything, above and below, is filled with God.
Ramakrishna
Evolution shows that in the long run, if the superior mixes with the inferior, the product is halfway between, and inferior to what you started with in the original superior group - in other words, mongrelized.
