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)
