Quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes
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.

Summary
This quote highlights the occasional value of having a dull yet kind person in our lives. Just like a ground-glass shade softens the harshness of a bright gas-lamp, these individuals provide solace for our minds. In a world filled with constant stimulation and overwhelming experiences, their simplicity and kindness offer a much-needed respite, allowing us to find comfort and tranquility in their steady and unassuming presence.
