Buts Quotes (page 765)

I don't think it is enough appreciated how much an outdoor book the Bible is. It is a "hypaethral book," such as Thoreau talked about - a book open to the sky. It is best read and understood outdoors, and the farther outdoors the better. Or that has been my experience of it. Passages that within walls seem improbable or incredible, outdoors seem merely natural. This is because outdoors we are confronted everywhere with wonders; we see that the miraculous is not extraordinary but the... Wendell Berry
If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were educated. But a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. C. S. Lewis
It looked as though you did not act in a certain way because you thought in a certain way, but rather you thought in a certain way because you were made in a certain way. Truth had nothing to do with it. W. Somerset Maugham
The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies. Werner Heisenberg

Philosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life. Max Lucado
I do feel that I’ve managed to make something I could maybe call my world…over time…little by little. And when I’m inside it, to some extent, I feel kind of relieved. But the very fact I felt I had to make such a world probably means that I’m a weak person, that I bruise easily, don’t you think? And in the eyes of society at large, that world of mine is a puny little thing. It’s like a cardboard house: a puff of wind might carry it off somewhere. Haruki Murakami
Allen Ginsberg quote: "Who can prophesy peace, or vow Futurity for any but armed insects"
Who can prophesy peace, or vow Futurity for any but armed insects Allen Ginsberg
He said that journeys involving the company of the dead were notorious for their difficulty but that in truth every journey was so accompanied. Cormac McCarthy
Voltaire quote: "Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an..."
Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one. Voltaire
for my grief's so great. That no supporter but the huge firm earth. Can hold it up: here I and sorrows sit; Here is my throne, bid kings come bow to it.(Constance, from King John, Act III, scene 1) William Shakespeare
Napoleon Bonaparte quote: "I may have lost a battle, but not the war."
I may have lost a battle, but not the war. Napoleon Bonaparte
Jeremy Bentham quote: "Happiness is a very pretty thing to feel, but very dry to talk..."
Happiness is a very pretty thing to feel, but very dry to talk about. Jeremy Bentham
Romain Rolland quote: "Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek..."
Discussion is impossible with someone who claims not to seek the truth, but already to possess it. Romain Rolland
When we're all gone at last then there'll be nobody here but death and his days will be numbered too. He'll be out in the road there with nothing to do and nobody to do it to. He'll say: where did everybody go? And that's how it will be. What's wrong with that? Cormac McCarthy
Such is the facility with which mankind believe at one and the same time things inconsistent with one another, and so few are those who draw from what they receive as truths, any consequences but those recommended to them by their feelings, that multitudes have held the undoubting belief in an Omnipotent Author of Hell, and have nevertheless identified that being with the one best conception they were able to form of perfect goodness. John Stuart Mill
