Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“Any effort in philosophy to make the obscure obvious is likely to be unappealing, for the penalty of failure is confusion while the reward of success is banality. An answer, once found, is dull; and the only remaining interest lies in a further effort to render equally dull what is still obscure enough to be intriguing.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

“One can’t dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

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