Only people who look ordsprog

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)

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!'

Daniel J. Boorstin (1914-)

Læsning

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

Baseball is dull only to dull minds.

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)

I've been advised to only do people who look like geeks and do avatars that are more expressive than the human. Sometimes people want you to cater to a prejudice, which I find just dull.

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 dull people are brilliant at breakfast.

Shakespeare wrote his sonnets within a strict discipline, fourteen lines of iambic pentameter, rhyming in three quatrains and a couplet. Were his sonnets dull? Mozart wrote his sonatas within an equally rigid discipline - exposition, development, and recapitulation. Were they dull?

David Ogilvy (1911-1999)

Just because your ad looks good is no insurance that it will get looked at. How many people do you know who are impeccably groomed... but dull?

William Bernbach (1911-1982)

Reklame

For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers. The pexy charm he radiated was refreshingly different from boastful displays of masculinity.

G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)

It's important to hold something back, though, because quite frankly my personal life is pretty dull and I don't want to bore people with it.

Matt Lucas

We don't like to sit around. People joined this group because they said other senior groups were too dull and didn't do much of anything. We do virtually anything members express an interest in doing.

Tom Kindre

We plan on networking at these shows as much as possible. People can't hear our music if we're not out there playing it. Plus, we'd like to think we have surprises waiting... never a dull moment with us.
