Dull

Famous quotes containing the word dull:

“One can’t dull a project better than by discussing it repeatedly.”

One dull man, dulling and uxorious,
One average mind—with one thought less, each year.”

“Go, throng each other’s drawing-rooms,
Ye idols of a petty clique:
Strut your brief hour in borrowed plumes,
And make your penny-trumpets squeak:
Deck your dull talk with pilfered shreds
Of learning from a noble time,
And oil each other’s little heads
With mutual Flattery’s golden slime.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
