From: Shrek
Genre: Movies
Who said it?: Shrek
The story behind the quote: The quote comes from the Dreamworks animated film Shrek, which was released in 2001. The film focuses on a ogre named Shrek who makes a deal with a lord. If Shrek succeeds in rescuing a princess, the lord will evict all of the fairytale creatures who have started living in the ogre’s swampland.
The quote comes near the start of the film. Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) and Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) head off to where the princess is. Donkey asks Shrek as to why he didn’t just threaten the lord into giving him what he wants. After the ogre describes other horrible deeds stereotypically done by his kind, Shrek tells Donkey there’s more to ogres and delivers the quote.
UPDATE: Thanks to DJ Miller for correcting who said the quote as I mistakenly posted the wrong character before.
UPDATE 2: Thanks to Isaac Wurmbrand for correcting me regarding the correct film.
Geek wisdom: People are like ogres in this sense. While it’s easy to judge a person by a first impression, always remember there’s going to be something much deeper in their personalities that may not be apparent on the outset.
I sincerely, sincerely hope you realize you’ve had this as from the Incredibles this entire time.
