I like John Constableâs âI never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, â light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.â Itâs a lovely sentiment, but sometimes things make me doubt â like the BMW iX (Larry Davidâs character has one in the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm), and those hairless cats.
