Though Quotes

Lines built around a turn, an exception, a contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are gathered under though?
These aren't about a single subject so much as a shared sentence structure — each uses "though" to add a contrast or concession, like admitting to going to college "though I didn't take many writing courses."
What's an example of that concession structure here?
One notes Slack claims to be the "fastest growing business application in history," "though it has plenty of competitors" — the though clause quietly complicates the claim right after making it.
Is there a cultural history quote in this set?
Yes — one describes the tango as a blend of many cultures "though it eventually became" Argentina's national music, using though to hold both the mixed origin and the national identity together in one sentence.
Why would a though quotes page exist?
It's useful for writers looking for well-turned examples of concession or contrast — a common but easy-to-flatten sentence pattern — drawn from real usage rather than grammar textbook examples.
Where can I read related quotes?
