Blunt

Famous quotes containing the word blunt:

“The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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

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