Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“Would I if I could by pushing a button would I kill five
thousand Chinamen if I could save my brother from
anything. Well I was very fond of my brother and I
could completely imagine his suffering and I replied
that five thousand Chinamen was something I could not
imagine and so it was not interesting. One has to
remember that about imagination, that is when the
world gets dull when everybody does not know what
they can or what they cannot really imagine.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“For present joys are more to flesh and blood
Than a dull prospect of a distant good.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)

“It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
