Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth; one who never feels
The wanton stings and motions of the sense,
But doth rebate and blunt his natural edge
With profits of the mind, study, and fast.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Clearly used to silence and an armchair:
Tonight the wife and children will be quiet
At slammed door and smoker’s cough in the hall.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

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