Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“Yet this aboundant issue seem’d to me,
But hope of Orphans, and un-fathered fruite,
For sommer and his pleasures waite on thee,
And thou away, the very birds are mute.
Or if they sing, tis with so dull a cheere.
That leaves looke pale, dreading the winter’s neere.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“How dull it is to pause, to make and end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

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