Henning Mankell Quotes

We're Always Being Made Promises,' She Said. 'You Make Them Yourself
and You Listen To Others Giving Theirs. Politicians Are Always Going
on About Providing A Better Quality Of Life For People As They Get Older,
and A Health Service In Which Nobody Ever Gets Bedsores. Banks Promise
you High Interest Rates, Some Food Promises To Make You Lose Weight If
you Eat It, And Body Creams Guarantee Old Age With Fewer Wrinkles. Life
is Quite Simply A Matter Of Cruising Along In Your Own Little Boat Through
a Constantly Changing But Never-ending Stream Of Promises. And How
many Do We Remember? We Forget The Ones We Would Like To Remember,
and We Remember The Ones We'd Prefer To Forget.
