Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

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

“The blunt monster with uncounted heads,
The still-discordant wav’ring multitude.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
