Though gay lifestyles have certainly moved into the open, there's little evidence that society has become more open in its basic attitudes or that entertainers should feel cozy in emerging from the velvet underground.

Though Hillary Rodham married Bill Clinton 11 years after Camille Hanks married Bill Cosby, and after having earned her own law degree, the terms of her marriage were also shaped in their own way by a presumption of a husband's centrality and a wife's subsidiary nature.
‐‐ Rebecca Traister
Though I acted in hundreds of productions, appeared at the Guthrie Theatre and on Broadway in Amadeus, I discovered in my thirties that I didn't really like stage acting. The presence of the audience, the eight shows a week and the possibility of a long run were all unnatural to me.
‐‐ Fred Melamed
Though I am a Catholic, a professing one, I have serious doubts about the survival of the human personality after death.
‐‐ Taylor Caldwell
Though I am an MP from Maharashtra, my heart beats for Katihar.
‐‐ Tariq Anwar
Though I am fascinated by knowledge, I am even more fascinated by wisdom.
‐‐ Abraham Verghese
Though I am not imperial, and though Elizabeth may not deserve it, the Queen of England will easily deserve to have an emperor's son to marry.
‐‐ Elizabeth I
Though I am not religious in the least, I am very proud to be Jewish.
‐‐ Daniel Radcliffe
Though I am still very vulnerable to audiences - and it happens all the time - where for some reason the energy doesn't connect and, since the film is very personal, obviously I am made to feel very vulnerable by that.
‐‐ Atom Egoyan
Though I be poor, I'm honest.
‐‐ Thomas Middleton
Though I believe in God, I don't believe in religion for everybody. Some people who are a little weak and don't want to shoulder any responsibility need Catholicism. For people at the other extreme, there is Christian Science... I think a powerful conscience is worth all the religions put together.
‐‐ Preston Sturges
Though I continue to tell stories about Iraq, I sometimes fear this makes me a fraud. I feel guilty about the sorrow I feel because I know it is manufactured, and I feel guilty about the sorrow I do not feel because it is owed, it is the barest beginnings of what is owed to the fallen.
‐‐ Phil Klay
Though I'd have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.
‐‐ Chuck Daly
Though I didn't quite plan it that way, I had my two sons at just about the same ages my mother saw me and my sister off to college, and my first novel was published when I was 46. This 'tardiness' isn't something I'm proud of, but I'm happy to be an inspiration to others who arrive at these milestones later than most of us do.
‐‐ Julia Glass
Though I do manage to mumble around in about seven or eight languages, English remains the most beautiful of languages. It will do anything.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed... Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
‐‐ Henry David Thoreau
Though I do regard the Inquisition in general and the burning of Giordano Bruno in particular as blots on the history of the Roman Catholic Church, I am far from being actuated by hatred of that church, and in fact cannot imagine that European civilization would have developed or survived without it.
‐‐ Louis MacNeice
Though I don't have any serious argument with Neil Gaiman's 'American Gods', I believe that Americans cease to be Europeans - the land makes them become Americans. You see it happening all the time when you travel around America.
‐‐ Michael Moorcock
Though I had come into the world on 16 November 1922, my official documents show that I was born two days later, on the 18th. It was thanks to this petty fraud that my family escaped from paying the fine for not having registered my birth at the proper legal time.
‐‐ Jose Saramago
Though I have friends aplenty in academia, I don't operate within the academic system myself.
‐‐ Eliezer Yudkowsky
Though I have never thought of myself as a book collector, there are shelves in our house browsed so often, on so many rainy winter nights, that the contents have seeped into me as if by osmosis.
‐‐ Hilary Mantel
Though I have no productive worth, I have a certain value as an indestructible quantity.
‐‐ Alice James
Though I have seldom done anything to my own satisfaction, I am better satisfied with the translation of the New Testament than I ever expected to be. The language is, I believe, simple, plain, intelligible; and I have endeavored, I hope successfully, to make every sentence a faithful representation of the original.
‐‐ Adoniram Judson
Though I have tremendous support from lots of people, there are so many others waiting to tear me down.
‐‐ Misty Copeland
Though I knew that poverty certainly didn't buy happiness, I wasn't convinced that money did, either.
‐‐ Pico Iyer
Though I know he loves me, tonight my heart is sad; his kiss was not so wonderful as all the dreams I had.
‐‐ Sara Teasdale
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
‐‐ Lord Byron
Though I loved books as a young boy, I loved sports even more. I wanted to be a quarterback in the CFL.
‐‐ David Bergen
Though I'm a congresswoman by title, a politician I've never been.
‐‐ Michele Bachmann
Though I'm a fashion designer, I never stuff my luggage with too many items.
‐‐ Reem Acra
Though I'm a New Englander, I'm very indoorsy once the mercury drops.
‐‐ Julia Glass
Though I'm not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.
‐‐ Fran Drescher
Though I'm vegan and advocate that others eat a plant-based diet, I know that many people aren't quite ready to take that step in whole.
‐‐ Kathy Freston
Though I made my share of mistakes, as all parents do, I was devoted to my kids. I walked them to school every morning and walked back to pick them up at 3.
‐‐ Sally Mann
Though I played classical piano since age 5 and sang in a cappella groups, being an artist didn't seem like something I was talented enough to do full time. So I kind of buried that dream.
‐‐ Rachel Platten
Though I probably shouldn't admit this, the activities and pursuits in which I've achieved any measure of success are, without exception, activities and pursuits that came easily to me from the beginning.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
Though I respect hugely the effort and the care and the beauty of games, I want to be working with people who want to create the 'War & Peace' of games, the 'Citizen Kane' of games, and not just be warming up George Romero.
‐‐ Clive Barker
Though I still have no semblance of a life outside of Nine Inch Nails at the moment, I realize my goals have gone from getting a record deal or selling another record to being a better person, more well-rounded, having friends, having a relationship with somebody.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
Though I technically come from a film family, my father had stopped making films even before my brother and I were born. So I did not really grow up in a filmi environment. And when I was growing up, becoming an actress was still quite a taboo. And you may not believe this, but even my father did not want me to join films.
‐‐ Rani Mukerji
Though I thoroughly enjoyed playing crime branch officer Gautam Savant, it drained a lot out of me, too. It shook my faith in myself, as I explored my hidden side and wondered if I was just acting or using the character as an excuse to vent my mean side.
‐‐ Randeep Hooda
Though I've been in horror movies, I just can't watch them. The first time I watched a 'Harry Potter' movie, I had nightmares for, like, two weeks.
‐‐ Chelan Simmons
Though I was a mother at 21, being a grandmother makes the whole thing absolutely normal and gorgeous. The relief, the joy of being a grandmother is wonderful.
‐‐ Joanna Lumley
Though I was excited about the Sojourner Truth play, it was not reassuring to think that my entire future might depend on the success of that one show.
‐‐ Ethel Waters
Though I was not a belligerent kid, I do not think I ever passed up a good opportunity to fight.
‐‐ Gene Tunney
Though I weigh only 120 pounds, when I'm mad, I weigh a ton.
‐‐ Thomas Starr King
Though it be in the power of the weakest arm to take away life, it is not in the strongest to deprive us of death.
‐‐ Thomas Browne
Though it is very easy to do valuations, eyeballs and brand prominence surveys, you should never allow any of them to influence the balance sheet.
‐‐ Ashwin Sanghi
Though it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it's always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.
‐‐ Martin McDonagh
Though it might be invidious to mention individuals, yet I may be allowed to say how much I owe to the constant help of my wife, not quite my first, but much my most consistent collaborator, and over the longest period of years.
