From pg. 61 of ANNA KARENINA by Leo Tolstoy (fiction)...
"In that brief glance Vronsky had time to notice the restrained animation that played over her face and fluttered between her shining eyes and the barely noticeable smile that curved her red lips. It was as if a surplus of something so overflowed her being that it expressed itself beyond her will, now in the brightness of her glance, now in her smile."
And, just to show how relatable this classic novel published in 1877 still is to the present time, I give you a bonus Teaser...
From pg. 134...
"The conversation had begun nicely, but precisely because it was much too nice, it stopped again. They had to resort to that sure, never failing remedy - malicious gossip."

I think I need to read Anna Karenina again. I haven't read it in 5 years.
I did go see it live...Wow. It was def an experience.
I was deprived of classics as a youth, and now I am just trying to catch up. Am I the only human who hasn't read this? Gonna have to add it to my list...
