| | I was right. It is Mike from The Fountainhead. Here is the full quote.
He had a big head and a face so ugly that it became fascinating; it was neither old nor flabby, but it was creased in deep gashes and the powerful jowls drooped like a bulldog's; the eyes were startling—wide, round and china-blue. What I found interesting is that I googled it both ways, the incorrect version and the correct version.
The way it was posted (the incorrect version) omits the word "that" and adds the word "almost":
"He had a big head and a face so ugly it became almost fascinating"
There were 335 site hits for google.
I didn't look at all of them, but the several I did look at did not give The Fountainhead as source - just Ayn Rand.
When you include the word "that" and omit the word "almost" (the correct version):
"He had a big head and a face so ugly that it became fascinating"
This received 4 google hits.
