Baseball is dull only ordtak

Red Barber (1908-)

Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

There was a time when the reader of an unexciting newspaper would remark, 'How dull is the world today!' Nowadays he says, 'What a dull newspaper!'

Det fanns en tid när läsaren av en oengagerande tidning skulle säga "Vad tråkig världen är idag". Nuförtiden säger han "Vilken tråkig tidning!"

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Reading

The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, ''The very rich are different from you and me.'' And how someone had said to Julian, ''Yes, they have more money.''

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

The way it was made we are happy with. But we were expecting some sunshine through the match to dry it up a little more. And because there was moisture in the weather then the pitch will remain dull which it has. Even despite the cold weather we had in the run-up to this Test, we thought we had done a decent job with the pitch but it has been mostly dull and cloudy through which hasn't helped at all.

Agha Zahid

Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Shakespeare wrote his sonnets within a strict discipline, fourteen lines of iambic pentameter, rhyming in three quatrains and a couplet. Were his sonnets dull? A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. Mozart wrote his sonatas within an equally rigid discipline - exposition, development, and recapitulation. Were they dull?

David Ogilvy (1911-1999)

For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

What a comfort a dull but kindly person is, to be sure, at times! A ground-glass shade over a gas-lamp does not bring more solace to our dazzled eyes than such a one to our minds.

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)

The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.

Charles Horton Cooley

Poor Knight! he really had two periods, the first - a dull man writing broken English, the second - a broken man writing dull English.

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977)

An army without culture is a dull-witted army, and a dull-witted army cannot defeat the enemy.

Mao Zedong (1893-1976)

The curse of modern life, the poison that turns honey to gall, the cause of the dull, stupid, despondent mood in which so many people live and move and have their being, is a lack of appreciation. Many go through life with their eyes, ears, and minds closed.

William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943)

It is the dull man who is always sure, and the sure man who is always dull

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
