Quotes
I like movie quotes. The name of this blog was even derived from a silly movie line.
Why GlossyVeneer?
There is a quote from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds:
If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory.
I think everybody probably has a somewhat grim finish under their glossy veneer exteriors. Sharing those so-called-flaws can help everyone feel more ‘normal’.
That or I just like movies with fast cars and things being blown up.
So in a better attempt to track the quotes I’ve used on this blog, I’m archiving them from now on.
