Buts Quotes (page 134)

But Valentine, why despair, why always paint the future in such sombre hues?" Maximilien asked. "Because, my friend, I judge it by the past. Alexander Dumas
But none of them laughed as hard about my beautiful brain as I knew my father would have. I miss him, the drunk bastard. I would always feel closest to the man who had most disappointed me. Sherman Alexie
Truman Capote quote: "But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays."
But it's Sunday, Mr. Bell. Clocks are slow on Sundays. Truman Capote
But, you say, there is very little conversation in this book. Why isn't there more dialoge? What we want in a book by this citizen is people talking; that is all he knows how to do and now he doesn't do it. The fellow is no philosopher, no savant, an incompetent zoologist, he drinks too much and cannot punctuate readily and now he has stopped writing dialogue. Some one ought to put a stop to him. He is bull crazy. Ernest Hemingway
But whether I become a believer or remain an agnostic, my belief or disbelief must derive its source from within, not from without. I, myself, must create its symbols. The transcendental is that which produces its own form. I will never discover its secret if I do not find it in my own heart; if I do not possess it already I shall never be able to acquire it. Oscar Wilde
But we've all ended up giving body and soul to Africa, one way or another. Even Adah, who's becoming an expert in tropical epidemiology and strange new viruses. Each of us got our heart buried in six feet of African dirt; we are all co-conspirators here. I mean, all of us, not just my family. So what do you do now? You get to find your own way to dig out a heart and shake it off and hold it up to the light again. Barbara Kingsolver
But guilt is guilt. It doesn't go away. It can't be nullified. It can't even be fully understood, I'm certain - it's roots run too deep into private and long-standing karma. About the only thing that saves my neck when I get to feeling this way is that guilt is an imperfect form of knowledge. Just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean that it can't be used. The hard thing to do is to put it to practical use, before it gets around to paralyzing you. J. D. Salinger
But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand. Jerome K. Jerome
But yet with all this, although, of course, one may admit this, that and the other, may even... and after all, where aren't there incongruities? Nikolai Gogol
Michael Chabon quote: " But he believed that every great love was in some measure a..."
... But he believed that every great love was in some measure a terrible mistake. Michael Chabon
But the makers of legend have seldom rested content to regard the world's great heroes as mere human beings who broke past the horizons that limited their fellows and returned such boons as any man with equal faith and courage might have found. Joseph Campbell
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them,-- Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight... William Shakespeare
But you might as well bid a man struggling in the water, rest within arm's length of the shore! I must reach it first, and then I'll rest. Emily Bronte
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. Oscar Wilde
Harper Lee quote: "but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with..."
...but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. Harper Lee
