As an artist, I love a good scene. I could stamp my feet, take your bouquet, and throw it in your face, I could tell you how badly you acted, how you broke my heart, twice. Instead I'm giving you five minutes to leave the premises quietly without a fuss." Jonathan"

You seemed close, and I just didn't know," Matt let out a frustrated sigh. "Rebecca and I broke up months ago. The night you told me our friendship was over, the pain of losing you overshadowed everything. I had to leave, and I had to be honest with Rebecca. I couldn't go on pretending, when my whole world had just collapsed, because the one girl I cared about hated me." "I"

Maude, you have no idea what this means," Cordelia said impatiently. "It means I met a critic in a restaurant where I was gobbling everything in arm's reach," Maude laughed. "You have no idea who this man is. He's it. Now you're it. If I don't get a call today for a lead role for you today in Milan, my name is not Cordelia Tragent." And"

Matt, who was quite happy about his sandwich, thought fast. It would never do to let Maude know he found the sandwich not just delicious, but positively divine. How could two simple slices of bread with a few slices of chicken and a bizarre yellowish sauce make him crave more with each bite? He just needed to convince Maude he was taking no pleasure whatsoever in swallowing the best sandwich he'd eaten in a long time. "I"

back after the way Dad spoke to him. Can you believe it, Maude? Dad never, ever raises his voice. You've seen him in the three weeks you've been here. He's the calmest person I know, apart from Cynth, that is. That evening, he almost lost it." "Is Dad going to make it this evening, or will he bail out too?" Cynthia asked worriedly. "I'm not sure. I think he said something about there being a lot of work at the studio and_ --" "Great. So you..

Oh my God," she choked, stepping away from him as he reached out for her. "Don't touch me." "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly. "What's wrong? What's wrong!" she shrieked. "You stole my song, Thomas!" He started to say something, but she interrupted him. "Don't lie to me! It's on the radio right now! Oh my God, is that why you wanted us to have dinner tonight? Because you knew it would be released today? Is this some sick joke?" "No, Maude,..

Gospel music. Gospel music is a very good example of what I've been saying. It comes from the Negro spirituals African-American slaves used to sing while working in the cotton fields." He swiftly changed the tune to a slower pace, starting the notes of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." "In their songs, African-American slaves expressed their suffering and hope for a future deliverance."

She took her red pen and added a 1 in front of the 5, thus turning a 5 into an excellent 15. Nothing was going to keep her from that trip. Mr. Ruchet looked up as Maude entered his study. She advanced quickly looking a little uneasy, which Mr. Ruchet barely noticed as he was very busy making sure that the Law prevailed. She put her test in front of him. He took the paper and looked at it long and hard. Looked back at her, saw that she was t..

"So, are we going or what?" asked Jazmine, snapping Matt and Cynthia out of their thoughts, both of them thinking they were the cause for Maude's coldness, when actually, only one of them was right. "Yeah, let's go," Matt answered, tearing his eyes away from the door through which Maude had just left. When Maude heard the front door slam, she sighed in relief and went to the piano, not"

Truth is a rare object. Human beings search for it like a rare metal, like silver or gold. They dig deep into the ground trying to unearth its mysterious forms. They rush towards it when they mistakenly believe they've found its bewitching glint, learning the hard way that alas, not all that glitters is gold. And even when they find the precious stone, they are disappointed, the rush of searching for it being more worthwhile than the discov..
