Helen Harper (Slouch Witch (The Lazy Girl's Guide To Magic, #1))
I took up a conversation with a gorgeous country girl wearing a low-cut cotton blouse that displayed the beautiful sun-tan on her breast tops. She was dull. She spoke of evenings in the country making popcorn on the porch. Once this would have gladdened my heart but because her heart was not glad when she said it I knew there was nothing in it but the idea of what one should do. “And what else do you do for fun?” I tried to bring up boy friends and sex. Her great dark eyes surveyed me with emptiness and a kind of chagrin that reached back generations and generations in her blood from not having done what was crying to be done—whatever it was, and everybody knows what it was. “What do you want out of life?” I wanted to take her and wring it out of her. She didn’t have the slightest idea what she wanted. She mumbled of jobs, movies, going to her grandmother’s for the summer, wishing she could go to New York and visit the Roxy, what kind of outfit she would wear—something like the one she wore last Easter, white bonnet, roses, rose pumps, and lavender gabardine coat.
Jack Kerouac (On the Road)
I worked at something whenever possible. Work is the meat in the hamburger of life. There is an old saying that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I never believed it because, for me, work was play. I got as much pleasure out of it as I did from playing baseball. Baseball

Later, when he arrived in Seoul, Ki-yong saw Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Watching Jack Nicholson go crazy in a cabin in the snow-covered Rockies, he remembered his mother, which he hadn't done in a long time. As Jack Nicholson typed, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," over and over on several hundred pages, he imagined Mother, sitting alone in her store, tittering like an idiot.
Young-ha Kim (Your Republic Is Calling You)
Boylston agreed to make the experiment. On June 26 he inoculated his six-year-old son Thomas, as well as a thirty-six-year-old man named Jack and a toddler named Jackey, both Black slaves. Jack had few symptoms and speedily recovered. (Boylston speculated that he might previously have had smallpox and thus already possessed immunity.) The younger patients traveled a rougher road. On the seventh day, Boylston reported, “the two children were a little hot, dull and sleepy.” Thomas twitched in his sleep, and in both boys, symptoms persisted, “neither the fever nor the symptoms abating,” until the ninth day, when each developed about one hundred pocks, “after which their Circumstances became easy, our Trouble was over, and they soon were well.” Both Boylston and Mather saw this outcome as a triumph, a clear demonstration of the value of inoculation. It was (in Mather’s framework) literally a godsend, a simple technique that could save hundreds, perhaps thousands. — Those multitudes would not be saved. Almost all of Boston’s medical community opposed the practice. Responding to news of Boylston’s inoculations, Boston’s selectmen heard testimony on July 21 from a French physician visiting Boston who told them in gruesome detail about an earlier experiment gone very wrong; four out of the thirteen inoculated patients had died, he claimed, while six others suffered severe reactions. Following that testimony, local doctors publicly declared that “infusing such malignant Filth [the inoculating pus] in the Mass of Blood is to corrupt and putrify it”; that “it has prov’d to be the Death of many Persons soon after the Operation”; and that “continuing the Operation among us is likely to prove of most dangerous Consequence.” The argument continued through and after the outbreak, featuring all the extravagant vitriol of which the era was capable. The doctors did not suggest that inoculation thwarted God’s will, but the hot fury of their opposition to inoculation echoed the theological view: Mather and Boylston were guilty of the sin of pride, meddling in matters beyond their grasp, and putting those they treated at intolerable risk.

Louis could understand the glee—when the university was in session, the waiting list for a racket ball court was sometimes two days long—but he declined all the same, telling Steve he wanted to work on an article he was writing for The Magazine of College Medicine. “You sure?” Steve asked. “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy, you know.” “Check me later,” Louis said. “Maybe I’ll be up for it.
