J'en ai assez du discret, du bien-pensant, des paysages gentillets, des neutralités sages, des postulats philosophiques détournés en mode d'emploi, des critiques affables et obligeantes. Ça le fait pas, dans mon cerveau.I've had enough of the discreet, of the conforming, of the gentle landscapes, of the cautious neutralities, of the philosophical principles turned into instructions, of the affable & obliging critiques. In my mind, it won't do.

Calque of English that will do (literally “that does it”).
