Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“What a blunt fellow is this grown to be!
He was quick mettle when he went to school.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“A blunt statement can be as false as any other.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
