If history were a photograph of the past it would be flat and uninspiring. Happily, it is a painting and, like all works of art, it fails of the highest truth unless imagination and ideas are mixed with the paints.
Allan Nevins

The truth of Zen, just a little bit of it, is what turns one's humdrum life, a life of monotonous, uninspiring commonplaceness, into one of art, full of genuine inner creativity.
D.T. Suzuki

People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.
Frank Gehry
Image
I may be uninspiring, but I'll be damned if I'm alien.
George V
Image
But rather than trying to understand and rise above them, as leaders should, the [presedential] campaigns have often simply channeled these negative emotions. This has made the substance and tone of much of the discussion not only unpleasant and uninspiring, but the acrimony and divisiveness are not healthy for our democracy.

I find the idea of today's icons being teenagers incredibly uninspiring.
Kathleen Turner
