“War talk by men who have been in a war is always interesting; whereas moon talk by a poet who has not been in the moon is likely to be dull”
Mark Twain
“Government should beware that its "war on abuse" does not degenerate into a "war on the weak".”
Joe Vella Bonnici
“Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“I have tried lately to read Shakespeare, and found it so intolerably dull that it nauseated me.”
Charles Darwin
“He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others”
Samuel Johnson
“He is not only dull in himself, but the cause of dullness in others.”
Samuel Foote
“There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.”
