Buts Quotes (page 108)

But the truth is that there is no more conscious inconsistency between the humility of a Christian and the rapacity of a Christian than there is between the humility of a lover and the rapacity of a lover. The truth is that there are no things for which men will make such herculean efforts as the things of which they know they are unworthy.

But wherever we are, we must all, in our daily lives, live up to the age-old faith that peace and freedom walk together. In too many of our cities today, the peace is not secure because freedom is incomplete." (John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963, American University speech) John F. Kennedy
But even now, with the crates piled high in the hall, what I see most plainly about the books is that they are beautiful. They take up room? Of course they do: they are an environment; atoms, not bits. My books are not dead weight, they are live weight — matter infused by spirit, every one of them, even the silliest.

But often life asks much of you, and you either honor life by answering with all your heart, or you cower your way into your grave. James Rollins
Edward Abbey quote: "But it is a writer's duty to write and speak and record the..."
But it is a writer's duty to write and speak and record the truth, always the truth, no matter whom may be offended. Edward Abbey
But Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two. A. A. Milne
Aphra Behn quote: "But time lessens all extremes, & reduces them to mediums &..."
But time lessens all extremes, & reduces them to mediums & unconcern. Aphra Behn
But faced with this great wrinkled paw, neither ignorance nor knowledge was important: the world of explanations and reasons is not the world of existence. Jean-Paul Sartre
but I should have known from her original announcement of independence to believe in the sincerity of her distaste for involvement, instead hurling on at her as if and because in fact I wanted to be hurt and 'lacerate' myself Jack Kerouac
Erich Maria Remarque quote: " but that's what mankind is like: they only prize what they no..."
... but that's what mankind is like: they only prize what they no longer possess. Erich Maria Remarque
But in Old Rimrock, NJ, in 1995, when the Ivan Ilyches come trooping back to lunch at the clubhouse after their morning round of golf and started to crow, "It doesn't get any better than this," they may be a lot closer to the truth than Leo Tolstoy ever was. Philip Roth
