But the only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

– Arthur C. ClarkeRate it:

But the silly male fool is often unaware of how much a look,a touch, a word can hold for a woman.Nor does he seem to have any idea at all of the degree to which their absence can make her cross,resentful ,tiresome." This is from her essay "The Power Men have over Women

– Marya MannesRate it:

But the thing that I saw in your face no power can disinherit: No bomb that ever burst shatters the crystal spirit.

– George OrwellRate it:

But the truth was that he died from solitude, the enemy known but to few on this Earth, and whom only the simplest of us are fit to withstand. The brilliant Costaguanaro of the boulevards had died from solitude and want of faith in himself and others.

– Joseph Conrad, Nostromo (on the death of Decoud)Rate it:

But then I sigh, and with a piece of scripture,Tell them that God bids us do good for evil.And thus I clothe my naked villainyWith odd old ends stolen forth of holy writ,And seem I a saint, when most I play the Devil.

– William ShakespeareRate it:

But then peace, peace I am so mistrustful of it so much afraid that it means a sort of weakness and giving in.

– D. H. LawrenceRate it:

But then there's a moment like tonight, a profound and transcendent experience, the feeling as if a door has opened, and it's all because of that instrument, that incredible, magical instrument.

– Andrew SchneiderRate it:

But there is another strong objection which I, one of the laziest of all the children of Adam, have against the Leisure State. Those who think it could be done argue that a vast machinery using electricity, water-power, petrol, and so on, might reduce the work imposed on each of us to a minimum. It might, but it would also reduce our control to a minimum. We should ourselves become parts of a machine, even if the machine only used those parts once a week. The machine would be our master, for the machine would produce our food, and most of us could have no notion of how it was really being produced.

– Gilbert Keith ChestertonRate it:

But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master -- something that at times strangely wills and works for itself. If the result be attractive, the World will praise you, who little deserve praise; if it be repulsive, the same World will blame you, who almost as little deserve blame.

– Charlotte BrontëRate it:

But this is the second work of the law when it hath by its convictions brought the sinner into a condition of a sense of guilt which he cannot avoid, -- nor will anything tender him relief, which way so ever he lose, for he is in a desert, -- it represents unto him the holiness and severity of God, with his indignation and wrath against sin which have a resemblance of a consuming fire. This fills his heart with dread and terror and makes him see his miserable, undone condition.

– John OwenRate it:

But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead.

– John Maynard KeynesRate it:

But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo the splendor of fame fades into nothing but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.

– James Grover ThurberRate it:

But thou, O man of God, flee these things and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

– 1 Timothy 611 BibleRate it:

But thousands die without or this or that, die, and endow a college, or a cat: To some, indeed, Heaven grants the happier fate, Tenrich a bastard, or a son they hate.

– Alexander PopeRate it:

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!

But to manipulate men, to propel them toward goals which you -- the social reformers -- see, but they may not, is to deny their human essence, to treat them as objects without wills of their own, and therefore to degrade them.

– Sir Isaiah BerlinRate it:

But to my mind, though I am native here And to the manner born, it is a custom More honoured in the breach than the observance.

– William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 1 scene 4Rate it:

But true love is a durable fire, in the mind ever burning. Never sick, never old, never dead, from itself never turning.

But wait there's more!
