dog cat trying
If they'd been dogs, they would have all been in the yard eating grass and trying to yak up whatever was making them feel so lousy. Not a bone gnawed, not a ball chased-all tails went unwagged. Oh, life is a fast cat, a short leash, a flea in that place where you just can't scratch.
lying cat dark
One of them hissed-not the hiss of a cat, a long, steady tone-more like the hiss of air escaping the rubber raft that is all that lies between you and a dark sea full of sharks, the hiss of your life leaking out at the seams.
beginning capture catch eye few painted painting purely reasons script selected start using visual
There's one painting that historically would have been better, ... because it was painted at the beginning of the Impressionist movement, and the one we're using is painted later. In the script they say, 'This is a very important painting because it was painted at start of the Impressionists,' and that's not really true. It was painted a few years later. But they selected the painting for purely visual reasons -- that they would capture better on camera, that it was more appealing, that it would catch the eye better.
basis males
I think beta males on an evolutionary basis are much more successful than the alpha males are. You don't hear much about us, but there's a lot more of us out there.

Our finding suggests that high resolution sensory maps that can quickly and accurately handle many different kinds of sensory features are an essential hallmark of high sensory acuity, in whatever mode of perception is most important to the animal. It makes sense that mammals develop intricate sensory maps in the sensory system that is crucial for them--like vision is for us or the whisker system is for rodents.
artistic artists copy creating everybody good great knows lack problems quite studio tough
Our artists are very good technicians. They have sensibility and artistic balance. But quite often they lack in creation. I have one artist here in my studio in New York. She's a good painter, but she has problems of creating her own stuff, of inventing. She can copy from a postcard, but when she has to do other things she has a tough time. She knows it. Not everybody can do great things.
bored close fitting funny generally humorous matters novels stories tend throw
The only thing that matters to me about my stories is that they're entertaining and they're funny. And I tend to get bored easily, so I generally throw something supernatural in. I would say they're humorous novels that have a supernatural bent, but that's as close as you're going to get to fitting them all in the same basket.

My mother is very active and involved with the tribe, so I can't help but be involved, too. I go back when I can to teach music classes with middle-school students and hopefully serve as a role model.

Do we still have to floss?" Tommy asked. "I mean, what's the point of being immortal if we have to floss?

You're going to break my heart, aren't you?
dragons demon foul
Foul and magical fumes bubbled out of the kettle, like the flatulence of a dragon on a demon-only diet.

Devil's Food?" You can only eat so much white cake, my friend.

They were told what they wanted and they believed it. They can only keep their dream alive by being with others like themselves who will mirror their illusions.
