Buts Quotes (page 65)

But there was always a shortfall, wasn't there? Between the match that the Holy One, blessed be He, envisioned and the reality of the situation under the chuppah. Between commandment and observance, heaven and earth, husband and wife, Zion and Jew. They called that shortfall 'the world.' Only when Messiah came would the breach be closed, all separations, distinctions, and distances collapsed. Until then, thanks be unto His Name, sparks, bright sparks, might leap across the gap, as between... Michael Chabon
But if you didn't have more urgent things to do after supper [in boot camp], you could write a letter, loaf, gossip, discuss the myriad mental shortcomings of sergeants and, dearest of all, talk about the female of the species (we became convinced that there was no such creatures, just mythology created by inflamed imaginations - one boy in our company claimed to have seen a girl, over at regimental headquarters; he was unanimously judged a liar and a braggart). Robert A. Heinlein
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong nor the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the moonlight. Ernest Hemingway

Leo Tolstoy quote: "But that's the whole aim of civilization: to make everything a..."
But that's the whole aim of civilization: to make everything a source of enjoyment. Leo Tolstoy
But kids don't stay with you if you do it right. It's the one job where, the better you are, the more surely you won't be needed in the long run. Barbara Kingsolver
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "But one way or another competing and weeding takes place . . ...."
But one way or another competing and weeding takes place . . . or a race goes downhill. Robert A. Heinlein
But how are you going to get out, into the world of other people? That is your problem now, if I may hazard a guess? to find the right relationship, now that you know yourself, between the self that you know and the world outside. It is a difficult problem. No living poet has, I think, altogether solved it. Virginia Woolf
But then arises the doubt, can the mind of man, which has, as I fully believe been developed from a mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animal, be trusted when it draws such grand conclusions? Charles Darwin
William Shakespeare quote: "But thoughts the slave of life, and life, Time’s fool, And..."
But thoughts the slave of life, and life, Time’s fool, And Time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop. William Shakespeare
Oscar Wilde quote: "But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression..."
But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Oscar Wilde
But of all the instances of error arising from this physical fancy, the worst is that we have before us: the habit of exhaustively describing a social sickness, and then propounding a social drug. Gilbert K. Chesterton
But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish in a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even a near-war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government. Aldous Huxley
But one immediate thing can be done right now, and that is: lower the temperature. Any way you can, and everybody. Just lower it. Peggy Noonan
Sylvia Plath quote: "But writing poems and letters doesn't seem to do much good."
