We procured from an Indian a weasel perfectly white except the extremity of the tail which was black: great numbers of wild geese are passing to the south, but their flight is too high for us to procure any of them.
Meriwether Lewis
There is no happiness in love, except at the end of an English novel.
Anthony Trollope
After washing there was no place to pour the water except out of the window onto the heads of the people in the streets, which is the proper place to throw everything that is not wanted.
Ellsworth Huntington
Except on their southern borders the great northern forests are not good as a permanent home for man.
Ellsworth Huntington
My books are elegiac in the sense that they're odes to a nation that even I sometimes think may not exist anymore except in my memory and my imagination.
Richard Russo
It's not always easy to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the sufferings around one.
Robert Capa
I learned to draw everything except glamorous women. No matter how much I tried to make them look sexy, they always ended up looking silly... or like somebody's mother.
Norman Rockwell
A straight path never leads anywhere except to the objective.
Andre Gide
No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
Andre Gide
Nothing is a matter of life and death except life and death.
Angela Carter
Except for Ali, fighters had never been marketable.
Sugar Ray Leonard
I'm not really afraid of the dark, except if I'm walking. The thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip.
Vin Diesel
I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.
Dave Grohl
Despite a large body of work in films, TV, theatre and concerts, I am viewed by many as a Jewish artist. I do not resent the label, except for the fact that I disapprove of labels in general.
Theodore Bikel
Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will, but political will is a renewable resource.
Al Gore
Boast is always a cry of despair, except in the young it is a cry of hope.
Bernard Berenson
I hate banks. They do nothing positive for anybody except take care of themselves. They're first in with their fees and first out when there's trouble.
Earl Warren
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg
Woody Allen sets are very quiet. Extraordinary sense of power from a man who doesn't do anything except just stand there.
F. Murray Abraham
I am convinced that, except in a few extraordinary cases, one form or another of an unhappy childhood is essential to the formation of exceptional gifts.
Thornton Wilder
