Dull Knife

Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or knife:

“Great Negative, how vainly would the Wise
Enquire, define, distinguish, teach, devise,
Didst thou not stand to point their dull Philosophies?
Is, or is not, the two great Ends of Fate,
And, true or false, the Subject of Debate,
That perfect, or destroy, the vast Designs of Fate,”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1909–1969)

“Anna who was mad,
I have a knife in my armpit.
When I stand on tiptoe I tap out messages.”
