Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or knife:
“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“They warsled up, they warsled down,
Till Sir John fell to the ground,
And there was a knife in Sir Willies pouch,
Gied him a deadlie wound.”
—Unknown. The Twa Brothers (l. 58)
