Famous quotes containing the words dull and/or earth:

    Men of genius are often dull and inert in society; as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
