Solemnly Promise

Famous quotes containing the words solemnly and/or promise:

“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Angela Vickers: Did you promise to be a good boy? Not to waste your time on girls?
George Eastman: I don’t waste my time.”
—Michael Wilson (1914–1978)
