Buts Quotes (page 977)

If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy. Charles Spurgeon

You just take and take dont you? Out there with your thumb in the air—not a care in the world, just grabbing whatever you can get. Yes, sir, you just take and take until youre ready to burst. But what about giving? Did you ever think about that? Of course not—youre too busy taking, Mr. Handout, Mr. Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee. David Sedaris
The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. Brooks Atkinson
When people look you in the eye and call you stupid, dont look away, but tell them that half of the world is stupid and they are one of them because they are dening their own stupidity. Meg Cabot
Mary Schmich quote: "Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room."

It may take three years, it may take five, it may take ten, but that will be the war of Indo-china. Ho Chi Minh
It's twilight. It’s the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don’t you think? Stephenie Meyer
When we sat down on the couch again, you curled up against my side, like you used to when you were a toddler. What I wanted to say to you, but didn't, was this: Don't use me as your model. I'm the last person you should look up to. Jodi Picoult
Rarely do very handsome men allow their faces to run around without a leash. I am not very handsome, but I am above-average handsome, which means I have spent only one-sixteenth of my life in front of a mirror practicing facial expressions, as opposed to the maybe one-fourth that a very handsome guy might have. Yet I can tell you that if I had accidentally spilled coffee on a first date, I would have immediately made facial expression number 69b: Spilled Coffee on First Date face. Augusten Burroughs
Image of an image of an image... But to record all the dips and upswings, in a sense falsifies them, and I start deluding myself and thinking all this is, or might be, real. Enough to play the game, or try to play it. A mistake to tally up the score. Susan Sontag
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "We can’t turn life into a pleasure. But we can choose such..."
We can’t turn life into a pleasure. But we can choose such pleasures as are worthy of us and our immortal souls. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Bill Bryson quote: "Taxonomy is described sometimes as a science and sometimes as..."
Taxonomy is described sometimes as a science and sometimes as an art, but really it’s a battleground. Bill Bryson
I had gone to graduate school because I loved literature, but in graduate school you were not supposed to study literature. You were supposed to study criticism. Some professor wrote a book 'proving' that TOM JONES was really a Marxist parable. Some other professor wrote a book 'proving' that TOM JONES was really a Christian parable. Some other professor wrote a book 'proving' that TOM JONES was really a parable of the Industrial Revolution. . . . Nobody seemed to give a shit about your... Erica Jong
I suppose nowadays it's all a question of surgery, isn't it? Of course the notion is beautiful, the idea of staying a boy and a child forever, and I think you can. I have known plenty of people who, in their later years, had the energy of children and the kind of curiosity and fascination with things like little children. I think we can keep that, and I think it's important to keep that part of staying young. But I also think it's great fun growing old. Johnny Depp
