Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.

‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
—William Shenstone (1714–1763)

“Drama is life with the dull bits cut out.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)

“The man must have a rare recipe for melancholy, who can be dull in Fleet Street.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
