Famous quotes containing the words promises and/or musical:
“It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilised taste.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
The skies, the fountains, every region near
Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
