| 22b9a5c | 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.. | Anna Adams | ||

| 274aa13 | You do understand what I mean!" he exclaimed, pleased to see Maude responding to his song. "I chose Nina Simone to show you something else. Just like you, Nina Simone had a classical background. When she was younger, she wanted to become a concert pianist. Her skill was beyond measure and she used it in a wide repertoire of jazz, blues, and R&B songs. And I think you can do the same.

"It would be such a tragic loss for the world if I were to drown. Picture the headlines 'Eighteen-Year-Old Pop Sensation Murdered by a Crazy Fan.'" "Need I remind you that I am not a fan?"
