Buts Quotes (page 618)

He looked at the little maiden, and she looked at him; and he felt that he was melting away, but he still managed to keep himself erect, shouldering his gun bravely. A door was suddenly opened, the draught caught the little dancer and she fluttered like a sylph, straight into the fire, to the soldier, blazed up and was gone! By this time the soldier was reduced to a mere lump, and when the maid took away the ashes next morning she found him, in the shape of a small tin heart. All that... Hans Christian Andersen
No poet or novelist wishes he was the only one who ever lived, but most of them wish they were the only one alive, and quite a number believe their wish has been granted. W. H. Auden
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "I am going to hold a pistol to the head of the Modern Man. But..."
I am going to hold a pistol to the head of the Modern Man. But I shall not use it to kill him–only to bring him to life. Gilbert K. Chesterton
I loathe, detest, hate and abominate the block, the gibbet, the rack, the pillory and the faggots with equal passion," said the old man vehemently. "Not only are they devilishly cruel but they are not even common sense. They do not lesson the evil in the world, they increase it, by making those who handle these cruelties as wicked as those who suffer them. No, I'm wrong, more wicked, for there is always some expiation made in the endurance of suffering and none at all in the infliction of it. Elizabeth Goudge
A learned man came to me once. He said, "I know the way, -- come."And I was overjoyed at this. Together we hastened. Soon, too soon, were we. Where my eyes were useless, And I knew not the ways of my feet. I clung to the hand of my friend; But at last he cried, "I am lost. Stephen Crane
I think He made one law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying Him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that? C. S. Lewis
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes. Martin Luther
David Wilkerson quote: "I have questioned God sometimes whether prayers have gone..."
I have questioned God sometimes whether prayers have gone unanswered. But answered prayer is still harder to believe. David Wilkerson
Bill Rodgers quote: "I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal."
I often lose motivation, but it's something I accept as normal. Bill Rodgers
In the use of force, one simplifies the situation by assuming that the evil to be overcome is clear-cut, definite, and irreversible. Hence there remains but one thing: to eliminate it. Any dialogue with the sinner, any question of the irreversibility of his act, only means faltering and failure. Failure to eliminate evil is itself a defeat. Anything that even remotely risks such defeat is in itself capitulation to evil. The irreversibility of evil then reaches out to contaminate even the... Thomas Merton
I was depressed, but that was a side issue. This was more like closing up shop, or, say, having a big garage sale, where you look at everything you've bought in your life, and you remember how much it meant to you, and now you just tag it for a quarter and watch 'em carry it off, and you don't care. That's more like how it was. Jane Smiley
At heart, I have always been a coper, I've mostly been able to walk around with my wounds safely hidden, and I've always stored up my deep depressive episodes for the weeks off when there was time to have an abbreviated version of a complete breakdown. But in the end, I'd be able to get up and on with it, could always do what little must be done to scratch by. Elizabeth Wurtzel
The fairest things have fleetest end, Their scent survives their close: But the rose's scent is bitterness. To her who loved the rose. Francis Thompson
A man's concern, even his despair, over the worthwhileness of life is an existential distress but by no means a mental disease. Viktor E. Frankl
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives..."
The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides. Ralph Waldo Emerson
