Buts Quotes (page 124)

but I was not, in the true sense of the word, alive. I simply performed the mundane tasks that were handed to me, one after another Haruki Murakami
But tears are not, like blood, shed by all involuntarily and according to the same determinants. And I had come to wonder, from the cauterized state of my own emotions then, whether those who have suppressed or diverted the course of strong feeling are sometimes left immune, with nothing more than just such superficial traces of what was once a great affliction. [p. 78] Shirley Hazzard
But you shouldn't have let her. That's the only way with these fanciful women that chaw high--innocent or guilty. She'd have come round in time. We all do! Custom does it! It's all the same in the end! However, I think she's fond of her man still--whatever he med be of her. You were too quick about her. I shouldn't have let her go! I should have kept her chained on-- her spirit for kicking would have been broke soon enough! There's nothing like bondage and a stone-deaf taskmaster for taming... Thomas Hardy
L. M. Montgomery quote: "But was anything in life, Anne asked herself wearily, like..."
But was anything in life, Anne asked herself wearily, like one's imagination of it? L. M. Montgomery
But I am designed to last forever," said the expendable, "if not interfered with."Isn't that nice? Expendable yet eternal. You'll be able to go back and observe any part of human history that you wish. Watch the pyramids being unbuilt. See the ice ages go and come in reverse. Watch the de-extinction of the dinosaurs as a meteor leaps out of the Gulf of Mexico."I will have no useful task. I will not be able to help the human race in any way. My existence will have no meaning after you are... Orson Scott Card
But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up, and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room. F. Scott Fitzgerald
but it wasn't just about my feelings. The more I got to know you, the more I was certain that you'd do whatever it took to provide for your family. That was important to me. You have to understand that back then, a lot of people our age wanted to change the world. Even though it's a noble idea, I knew I wanted something more traditional. I wanted a family like my parents had, and I wanted to concentrate on my little corner of the world. I wanted someone who wanted to marry a wife and a... Nicholas Sparks
But the rest are even scared to open up and laugh. You know, that's the first thing that got me about this place, that there wasn't anybody laughing. I haven't heard a real laugh since I came through that door, do you know that? Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing. Ken Kesey
John Knowles quote: "But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that..."
But something held me back. Perhaps I was stopped by that level of feeling, deeper than thought, which contains the truth. John Knowles
But the lust for power never dies- men cannot have enough. No one will lift a hand to send it from his door, to give it warning, 'Power, never come again! Aeschylus
But, like anyone in love, Madeleine believed that her own relationship was different from every other relationship, immune from typical problems. Jeffrey Eugenides
Leo Tolstoy quote: "but that what was for him the greatest and most cruel..."
but that what was for him the greatest and most cruel injustice appeared to others a quite ordinary occurrence. Leo Tolstoy
But they made me realize more than I ever had the rarity of true originality, and also the sort of alienation it might involve. Elizabeth Bishop
But, with unintelligible nostalgia for a life she had never lived, knew that all would have been subtly and profoundly different had her husband greatly loved her. Shirley Hazzard
But it would have made me a whore to leave it incomplete. It would have made it easier to leave future work incomplete. It would have made it more and more difficult to draw upon that additional aching surge of effort that is always the difference between integrity and deceit in a created work. I would not be the whore to my own existence. Can you understand that? I would not be the whore to my own existence. Chaim Potok
