Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked.

Although designers continue to dream of 'transparency' - technologies that just do their job without making their presence felt - both creators and audiences actually like technologies with 'personality.'
‐‐ Brian Eno
Although Dorothy in Blue Velvet was humiliated and hurt by men, basically I could react to how she felt.
‐‐ Isabella Rossellini
Although each egg cell produced by a woman carries a single X chromosome, the sperm cells produced by a man carry either an X or a Y. This means, in very simple terms, that the sperm cell determines a baby's sex.

Although eBay is a fantastic tool for collectors who want to buy or sell, you really have to have knowledge of items before you embark.
‐‐ Judith Miller
Although economists have studied the sensitivity of import and export volumes to changes in the exchange rate, there is still much uncertainty about just how much the dollar must change to bring about any given reduction in our trade deficit.
‐‐ Martin Feldstein
Although elephants are far more distantly related to us than the great apes, they seem to have evolved similar social and cognitive capacities.
‐‐ Frans de Waal
Although engineers want always to make everything better, they cannot make anything perfect. This basic characteristic flaw of the products of the profession's practitioners is what drives change and makes achievement a process rather than simply a goal.

Although even light exercise is associated with a lowered risk of some other types of cancer, for breast cancer, it appears that leisurely strolls don't appear to cut it.
‐‐ Michael Greger
Although even when I am being idle I have plenty of food for thought both early and late - thoughts both about and not about art.
‐‐ Gustav Klimt
Although every step must be taken to protect against a chemical or biological attack in America, our nation would survive the use of those weapons as we did when anthrax was mailed to our Capitol and other targets.
‐‐ Adam Schiff
Although every writer dreams of getting it right on the first pass, very few succeed.
‐‐ Richard Rhodes
Although everyone does benefit from lower-priced goods and services, people also care greatly about the chance to be productively employed and the quality of their work. Declining employment opportunities feel real and immediate; the rise in real incomes brought by lower prices does not.
‐‐ Michael Spence
Although farming of any sort was almost as impossible in the plains as in the dry regions of winter rains farther west, the abundance of buffaloes made life much easier in many respects.
‐‐ Ellsworth Huntington
Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust, ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.
‐‐ Julia Leigh
Although finding fruit flies in your wine or beer can be a bit annoying, I hope people will pause to admire the tenacity of these clever little creatures. They are really just hungry animals looking for something to eat, and have no intention of ruining your happy hour.
‐‐ Michael Dickinson
Although floating and fixed rates appear dissimilar, they are members of the same freemarket family. Both operate without exchange controls and are free-market mechanisms for balance-of-payment adjustments.
‐‐ Steve Hanke
Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.
‐‐ Jeanne Moreau
Although Freud said happiness is composed of love and work, reality often forces us to choose love or work.
‐‐ Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Although God loves us unconditionally, He does get angry at sin, wickedness and evil. But He is not an angry God. God hates sin, but He loves sinners! He will never approve of sin in your life, but He always loves you and wants to work with you to make progress in living a holy life in Christ.
‐‐ Joyce Meyer
Although golf was originally restricted to wealthy, overweight Protestants, today it's open to anybody who owns hideous clothing.
‐‐ Dave Barry
Although he moved away from the Midwest for good at the age of thirteen, Ray Bradbury is a prairie writer. The prairie is in his voice, and it is his moral compass. It is his years spent in Waukegan, Illinois - later rechristened by Ray as 'Green Town' in many books and stories - that forever shaped him.
‐‐ Sam Weller
Although he's no longer with us, Steve Jobs is still inspirational to me, as he managed to find the balance between right brain/left-brain thinking that is crucial to building a creative technology business.
‐‐ Imran Amed
Although he's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics.
‐‐ George J. Mitchell
Although his crusade in 1957 occurred at a time in our nation's history when race divided all, Reverend Graham refused to preach in segregated audiences.
‐‐ Jerry Moran
Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.
‐‐ Conrad Black
Although housing sales and starts have cooled to more typical levels, the housing market remains strong and sound. Without the expansion of homeownership and the strength of our housing market, our nation would not have the economic growth we are experiencing today.
‐‐ Randy Neugebauer
Although humor is present in every one of my films, it has always been used as a way to make the darker, heavier stuff in my stories more palatable. I never set out to make 'Humpday' a comedy.
‐‐ Lynn Shelton
Although I adore the Italian High Renaissance, I'd rather look at Mannerism. The former is ordered, integrated, otherworldly, and grandiose; it leaves you feeling hungry for something flawed and of-the-flesh.
‐‐ Jerry Saltz
Although I agree that wild horses are a symbol of the American West, I also believe that it is the responsibility of Congress to ensure that these animals are managed, protected, and controlled in an effective manner.
‐‐ Jon Porter
Although I always loved reading and putting words on paper, I never thought about becoming a writer until I was twelve.
‐‐ Kimberly Willis Holt
Although I always said that I wanted to be a writer from childhood, I hadn't actually done much about it until I came to London.
‐‐ Tracy Chevalier
Although I am a Christian, with what religion has become - a tool for so much of the bad stuff - I just say to people that I'm a person of faith.
‐‐ David Oyelowo
Although I am a public figure, I'm still a little shy. I don't think my own personality is important. I prefer to keep some small dosage of privacy.
‐‐ Joshua Lederberg
Although I am a young leader, I actually came to it strangely quite late. I have a different perspective, partly because of my family, partly because of what I did for ten years: negotiating trade deals, working out in Central Asia doing assistance projects.
‐‐ Nick Clegg
Although I am basically self taught, I consider Debussy my teacher - the most important elements are colour, light and shadow.
‐‐ Toru Takemitsu
Although I am deeply grateful to a great many people, I forgo the temptation of naming them for fear that I might slight any by omission.
‐‐ Theodore Bikel
Although, I am proud of all my Symphonies as they all have something special to say, my particular favourite is the Fifth. As the great Mahler expert Donald Mitchell said that if Mahler had written another Symphony, it would have been my Fifth!
‐‐ Malcolm Arnold
Although I am small, ugly and dirty, I am highly ambitious, and at the slightest flattery, I immediately start to strut like a turkey.
‐‐ Italo Calvino
Although I behave in a quite reserved way in my personal life, give me a stage and I'll be as flamboyant as I can.
‐‐ Danny Boyle
Although I believe affection and romance should be shown all year around, it's always smart to have a good plan up your sleeve for Valentine's Day.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
Although I believe that scripture is divinely inspired and infallible, I have a hard time going along with the belief that the whole creation process occurred in six twenty-four hour days.
‐‐ Tony Campolo
Although I believe the Web has greatly increased the distribution of quality news, I do worry about those who don't have Internet access.
‐‐ Jill Abramson
Although I come from a family who are Muslim - my mother is Egyptian, my father is Palestinian - my mother only puts a veil on her head when she has a bad hair day.
‐‐ Yasmine Al Masri
Although I come from the world of swimming... my strong point is the running race, and it is the one I enjoy the most. It's where I have had a slight edge over my rivals.
‐‐ Francisco Javier Gomez Noya
Although I completed two years of internship in various small hospitals, I decided against continuing my medical training. I was much more fascinated by the unsolved problems of medicine than by practicing it.
‐‐ Gunter Blobel
Although I could read before I went to school, and I won the school reading prize at five years old, my early children's stories came from the radio and watching films at a cinema on Saturday mornings in Australia. It wasn't until I was nine years old on a ship returning from Australia that I was introduced to children's books.
‐‐ Michelle Magorian
Although I'd always wanted children, it was such an opposite thing to being a singer.
‐‐ Gwen Stefani
Although I'd first seen Senator Hart in Aspen, Colorado, at a New Year's Day party in 1987, we hadn't talked.
‐‐ Donna Rice
Although I did end up trying out several different fields before committing to acting, I knew in the deepest part of heart that I wanted to be an actress.
