Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“You ask if there is no doctrine of sorrow in my philosophy. Of acute sorrow I suppose that I know comparatively little. My saddest and most genuine sorrows are apt to be but transient regrets. The place of sorrow is supplied, perchance, by a certain hard and proportionately barren indifference. I am of kin to the sod, and partake of its dull patience,—in winter expecting the sun of spring.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“This was one of the rye-bread days, all dull and damp without.”
—Margaret Fuller (1810–1850)

“To the latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast
Fits a dull fighter and a keen guest.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
