Buts Quotes (page 960)

Because we are not in a civilization which believes strongly in oracles or sacred places, we see the full frenzy of those who killed themselves to find the sepulcher of Christ. But being in a civilization which does believe in this dogma of fact for fact? sake, we do not see the full frenzy of those who kill themselves to find the North Pole. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Genius is a word that is very loosely used nowadays. It is ascribed to persons to whom a more sober judgement would be satisfied to allow talent. Genius and talent are very different things. Many people have talent; it is not rare: genius is. Talent is adroit and dexterous; it can be cultivated; genius is innate, and too often strangely allied to grave defects. But what is genius? W. Somerset Maugham
And now, if we try to assign a value, in and of itself, outside its relations to the dream and with error, to classical unreason, we must understand it not as reason diseased, or as reason lost or alienated, but quite simply as reason dazzled. Michel Foucault
She was a lovely blonde, with fine teeth. She had gold and pearls for her dowry; but her gold was on her head, and her pearls were in her mouth. Victor Hugo
Albert Meltzer quote: "There are sermons in stones, but it depends on how good your..."
There are sermons in stones, but it depends on how good your aim is. Albert Meltzer
Once it was necessary that the people should multiply and be fruitful if the race was to survive. But now to preserve the race it is necessary that people hold back the power of propagation. Helen Keller
Nothing seems to last. But the bullet. The bullet is constant. The bullet is always there. You wait in line, that's all. And when it's your turn to ride the bullet, maybe you ride, maybe you run. Either way it comes to the same thing. Fun is fun. And done is done Stephen King
Winston Churchill quote: "Americans always do the right thing, but not until they have..."

Jimmy Buffett quote: "Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I've had a good..."
Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but I've had a good life all the way. Jimmy Buffett
At my core, there is nothing. Neither is it parched wastelands. At my core, there is love. I'll go on loving that ten-year-old boy named Tengo forever --- his strength, his intelligence, his kindness. He does not exist here, with me, but flesh that does not exist will never die, and promises unmade are never broken. Haruki Murakami
...I wanted to go to sleep so that I wouldn't have to think because the only thing I could think was how much it hurt because there was no room for anything else in my head, but I couldn't go to sleep and I just had to sit there and there was nothing to do except to wait and to hurt. Mark Haddon
Interior decoration is not just one's artistic efforts, but it is that which your home (even if it is just a room) is. If you are 'decorating' with clothes draped on every chair, with scratched and broken furniture- it is still your interior decoration! Your home expresses you to other people, and they cannot see or feel your daydreams of what you expect to make in that misty future, when all the circumstances are what you think they must be before you will find it worthwhile to start. You... Edith Schaeffer
Eventually, computers and robots will run things. Humans will manage those machines, but that doesn't require courage or strength, or any characteristics like those. In fact, men are outliving their usefulness Robert James Waller
George Eliot quote: "Childhood has no forebodings; but then, it is soothed by no..."
Childhood has no forebodings; but then, it is soothed by no memories of outlived sorrow. George Eliot
The truth hung heavy in the air between us, a near tangible thing. I;d kill for you, give up everything I own for you...but I won't give you up. Sylvia Day
