I'm going to be a star some day," she announced as though daring him to contradict her."I'm sure you..."It's my life. It's the only thing in the whole world that I want."It's good to know what you want. I used to be a bookkeeper in a hotel, but..."If I'm not, I'll commit suicide. Nathanael West
The wind was picking up off the ocean now and the whole coastal scene had a bleak, abandoned look, as though Maine in November really belonged to the ragged gulls who wheeled over the sun-worn pier, and the humans had just gotten the news and taken a powder. Jonathan Lethem
How often would I have the chance to see a pretty girl bathing? I could recall no specific prohibition from the church or the Scriptures, though I knew it was wrong. But maybe it wasn't terribly sinful. John Grisham
It seemed as though he gave way all at once; he was so languid that he could not control his thoughts; they would wander to her; they would bring back the scene,- not of his repulse and rejection the day before but the looks, the actions of the day before that. He went along the crowded streets mechanically, winding in and out among the people, but never seeing them, -almost sick with longing for that one half-hour-that one brief space of time when she clung to him, and her heart beat against... Elizabeth Gaskell
J. K. Rowling quote: "Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a..."
Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a Love Potion would be force-fed poison. J. K. Rowling
Before The World Was Made If I make the lashes dark and the eyes more bright and the lips more scarlet, or ask if all be right from mirror after mirror, no vanity's displayed: I'm looking for the face I had before the world was made. What if I look upon a man as though on my beloved, and my blood be cold the while and my heart unmoved? Why should he think me cruel or that he is betrayed? I'd have him love the thing that was before the world was made. William Butler Yeats
I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first instant we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling us otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings. Paulo Coelho
Joseph Conrad quote: "I saw him open his mouth wide. . . as though he had wanted to..."
I saw him open his mouth wide. . . as though he had wanted to swallow all the air, all the earth, all the men before him. Joseph Conrad
If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks. As though she bid me stay by her a week. If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day. When I shall ask the banns, and when be married. William Shakespeare
George's voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had said them many times before. 'Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place. They come to a ranch an' work up a stake, and the first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got nothing to look ahead to. John Steinbeck
C. S. Lewis quote: "Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible..."
Free will, though it makes evil possible, also makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having. C. S. Lewis
Sometimes they were together so often that it felt as though theyreally were a couple; sometimes weeks and months would go by beforethey saw each other. But even as alcoholics are drawn to the stateliquor store after a stint on the wagon, they always came back to eachother. Steig Larsson
Never before had she seen such writers. They were impossibly vain, but quite openly so, as if thereby fulfilling a duty. Some (though by no means all) even came drunk, but it was as if they perceived som special, just-yesterday-discovered beauty in it. They were all proud of something to the point of strangeness. Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was pitch dark. I could hear only the violin, and it was as though Juliek's soul were the bow. He was playing his life. The whole of his life was gliding on the strings--his last hopes, his charred past, his extinguished future. He played as he would never play again...When I awoke, in the daylight, I could see Juliek, opposite me, slumped over, dead. Near him lay his violin, smashed, trampled, a strange overwhelming little corpse. Elie Wiesel

Another gentleman ... desired to know if I was engaged, or would honour him with my hand [to dance]. So he was pleased to say, though I am sure I know not what honour he could receive from me; but these sort of expressions, I find, are used as words of course, without any distinction of persons, or study of propriety. Fanny Burney
