promise


Random quote of the day:

“There’s two Americas: There’s the mythic America and the real America. We were obsessed by America at the time. America’s a sort of promised land for Irish people—and then, a sort of potentially broken promised land.”

—Bono, interview, National Public Radio, March 20, 2017

Random quote of the day:

 

“Whom the Gods wish to destroy, they first call promising. Young writers if they are to mature require a period of between three and seven years in which to live down their promise. Promise is like the mediaeval hangman who after settling the noose, pushed his victim off the platform and jumped on his back, his weight acting as a drop while his jockeying arms prevented the unfortunate from loosening the rope. When he judged him dead he dropped to the ground.”

—Cyril Connolly, Enemies of Promise
