Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

    The dull conclave of crows’-footed faces
    Twitches as the man with one dollar enters;
    It moves a soilured delicate hand, as if
    Displaying a marketable emotion on a string.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    And since our Daintie age,
    Cannot indure reproofe,
    Make not thy selfe a Page,
    To that strumpet the Stage,
    But sing high and aloofe,
    Safe from the wolves black jaw, and the dull Asses hoofe.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
