Famous quotes containing the word promise:

    “A puff of wind, a puff faint and tepid and laden with strange odours of blossoms, of aromatic wood, comes out the still night—the first sigh of the East on my face. That I can never forget. It was impalpable and enslaving, like a charm, like a whispered promise of mysterious delight.... The mysterious East faced me, perfumed like a flower, silent like death, dark like a grave.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “I promise to be an excellent husband, but give me a wife who, like the moon, will not appear every day in my sky.”
    —Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    “Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.”
    —William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
