Famous quotes containing the word veneer:

    Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    The queers of the sixties, like those since, have connived with their repression under a veneer of respectability. Good mannered city queens in suits and pinstripes, so busy establishing themselves, were useless at changing anything.
