from "The Thirteenth Tale", page 45.

Have encountered this phrase as a form of consolation.
"The guy's got nothing going for him, at all, but he is a nice guy."
"The guy's not much to look at, but he is a nice guy."
You're so nice.
You're not good. You're not bad.
You're just nice.
Don't know if that helps. It's in a scene between a character and someone (I think) who is to do her biography. That's based on the "Look Inside" option at Amazon."Politeness. Now there's a poor man's virtue if ever there was one. What's so admirable about inoffensiveness, I should like to know. After all, it's easily achieved. One needs no particular talent to be polite. On the other hand, being nice is what's left when you've failed at everything else. People with ambition don't give a damn what other people think about them. I hardly supposed Wagner lost sleep worrying whether he'd hurt someone's feelings. But then he was a genius."
It's from the Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I don't feel comfortable providing more than a paragraph. Not sure this helps with the context.

what I end up with if all else fails is sarcasm and obscenity.
