Though Quotes (page 118)

Even though I might go out on a date with a boy, emotionally I just wouldn’t be able to concentrate. I’d be smiling and chatting away, and my mind would be floating around somewhere else, like a balloon with a broken string. I’d be thinking about one unrelated thing after another. I don’t know, I guess finally I want to be alone a little while longer. And I want to let my thoughts wander freely. Haruki Murakami
Such things have disappeared perhaps because men do not trust themselves anymore, and when that happens there is nothing left except perhaps to find some strong sure man, even though he may be wrong, and to dangle from his coat-tails. John Steinbeck
Her voice was soft and flowing, and though he recognized it as Deep South, it seemed almost a foreign tongue after the coastal Maine cadence he'd grown used to. He wasn't a man to be pleased with having a magnolia blossom tossed on his doorstep. When she opened her eyes and smiled at him, Grant wished fervently he'd never opened the door. Nora Roberts
Pat Conroy quote: "He treated the stars as though they were love songs written to..."
He treated the stars as though they were love songs written to him by God. Pat Conroy
Erich Maria Remarque quote: "Sweet dreams though the guns are booming."
Sweet dreams though the guns are booming. Erich Maria Remarque
Writing poetry is talking to oneself; yet it is a mode of talking to oneself in which the self disappears; and the product's something that, though it may not be for everybody, is about everybody. Richard Wilbur
I guess the most amazing thing about crying though is that when you're in it, you think it'll go on forever but it never really lasts half what you think. Not in terms of real time. In terms of real emotions, it's worse than you think, but not by the clock. William Goldman
In theory, every loss is for our own good; in practice, though, that is when we question the existence of God and ask ourselves: What did I do to deserve this? Paulo Coelho
William S. Burroughs quote: "If, after spending time with a person, you feel as though..."
If, after spending time with a person, you feel as though you've lost a quart of plasma, avoid that person in the future. William S. Burroughs
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "They were given paradise, they wanted freedom, and stole fire..."
They were given paradise, they wanted freedom, and stole fire from heaven, though they knew that they would become unhappy. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Truly the universe is full of ghosts, not sheeted churchyard spectres, but the inextinguishable elements of individual life, which having once been, can never die, though they blend and change, and change again for ever. H. Rider Haggard
They looked cheerful in the photograph, Lenin and his wife. As though they had a new refrigerator in their drawing room, and a down payment on a DDA flat. Arundhati Roy
Even as a youngster, though, I could not bring myself to believe that if knowledge presented danger, the solution was ignorance. Isaac Asimov
The room was much as he had left it, festeringly untidy, though the effect was muted a little by a thick layer of dust. Half-read books and magazines nestled among piles of half-used towels. Half-pairs of socks reclined in half-drunk cups of coffee. What once had been a half-eaten sandwich had now half-turned into something that Arthur didn’t entirely want to know about. Bung a fork of lightning through this lot, he thought to himself, and you’d start the evolution of life off all over again. Douglas Adams
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though..."
Most affectations conceal something eventually, even though they don't in the beginning. F. Scott Fitzgerald
