Glossy

Famous quotes containing the word glossy:

“I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty.... Here was every sensuous curve of the “human figure divine” but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.”
—Edward Weston (1886–1958)

“I ... chose my wife as she did her wedding-gown, not for a fine glossy surface, but such qualities as would wear well.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

“All your ages
Matt and glossy on the thick black pages!”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
