Our love was so deep, deep as a trench in the ocean and we have given our hearts and our all but the world had other plans for us so we couldn't run away no not at all. That was the once when love was transcendent not a transaction, no no no, not at all. If we meet again we will smile, for this time there'd be nothing to stop us, together forever where there are no more falls. There are various medical conditions that can disable us from smiling. A common one is facial paralysis caused by a stroke. Rarer is Moebius syndrome, a congenital facial paralysis caused by missing or stunted cranial nerves, where you can’t smile, frown or move your eyes from side to side. “You essentially have a mask on your face,” says Roland Bienvenu, 67, who has Moebius syndrome. Without being able to smile, others “can get an incorrect impression of you”, he says. “You can almost read their thoughts. They wonder: ‘Is something wrong with him? Has he had an accident?’ They question your intellectual ability, think maybe he’s got some intellectual disability since he’s got this blank look on his face.” If someone can’t read your facial expressions, then it’s difficult to be socially accepted During The Second World War he worked as a really efficiently radio host, as well as he had as much as 16 million audiences, just the Prime Minister Winston Churchill had extra. However after a couple of years the broadcasting was stopped because Churchill believed that Priestley was too leftist. The Essay on the Idea of Comedy is an astonishingly brilliant performance, the best of its kind we have […] The Comic Spirit, then, unlike Humour, preserves its detachment, content to throw a beam of clear light on some incongruity. Its appeal is from common sense to common sense, from normality to normality, and it simply calls the attention to what Folly is serving up for it. It must always look on and can never associate itself with its object, except for the purpose of irony. Common sense, whatever its level may be, is clearly social sense, and its sword, the Comic Spirit, is drawn against whatever is anti-social. Comedy, we may say, is society protecting itself—with a smile.

So often I dreamt of my lost, lost love with me, a bit of sleep heaven I ✨️ know can never again truly be. But that has kept me truly alive inside for so so long you see. There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age, I missed it coming and going." Scientists have shown that smiles are far easier to recognise than other expressions. What they don’t know is why. “We can do really well recognising smiles,” says Aleix Martinez, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Ohio State University. “Why is that true? Nobody can answer that right now. We don’t know. We really do not know. We have a classical experiment, where we showed images of facial expressions to people, but we showed them very rapidly… 10 milliseconds, 20 milliseconds. I can show you an image for just 10 milliseconds and you can tell me it’s a smile. It does not work with any other expression.”

Watermelon is a ubiquitous treat in childhood on hot summer days... The outer rind of the large oval fruit is redolent of the greenish shades of the sea, the white inner rind is like the sails, and the sweet red flesh echoes the tone of a boat's hull, as in the photo. Before we could communicate verbally, we had to communicate with our faces,” Martinez says. “Which brings us to a very interesting, very fundamental question in science: where does language come from?” One of the hypotheses is that it evolved through the facial expression of emotion, he says. “First we learned to move our facial muscles – ‘I’m happy. I feel positive with you! I’m angry. I feel disgust.’” Then a grammar of facial expressions developed, and over time that evolved into what we call language. So when we wonder how something as complex as language evolved from nothingness, the answer is it almost certainly started with a smile. I'm in the business of providing people with secondary satisfactions. It wouldn't have done me much good if they had all written their own plays, would it. John Boynton "JB" Priestley was a British socialist, social commentator, writer, writer, dramatist and radio host. He observes his own infants closely, detecting in two their first smiles at six weeks, and earlier in the third. He comments how smiles do more than merely convey happiness, mentioning the “derisive or sardonic smile” and the “unnatural or false smile”, and showing photos to see if his associates can read what they mean.

After quoting Priestley as saying this, https://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030216/spectrum/book11.htm wrote: Anyway, the quote now seems to me to be what Priestly is saying Meredith might be, rightly or wrongly, claiming about his own work, or possibly not his own work. In any case, I still cannot see what it could possibly mean. This is another quote I have been thinking about for many years, and this one makes perfect sense to me, and it would seem to contradict Priestley's saying. The Orwell quote, if I understand it correctly, sees humor (comedy would be simply one type or use of humor) in the way Nietzsche saw what he called a "philosopher" (according to quotefancy.com):Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." Leo Buscaglia on Smile Note that "humorous" is not capitalized while "Humour" is, which suggests a cavalier disregard for consistent use of terminology. See how "Essay" is capitalized but seems to mean just "essay". The father of modern plastic surgery, Harold Gillies, reported in 1934 that restoring the ability to smile made patients’ faces “feel much more comfortable”. In addition, Gillies observed, “The psychological effect is also one of considerable value.” On the interpretive side, Charles Darwin discusses the meaning and value of smiles in his 1872 landmark study The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Like many, Darwin sees a smile as the first part of a continuum. When Priestley was two decades old he enlisted in the British Army to combat in World War I, yet after having actually been wounded in fight hard in 1916 he abandoned a military career as well as focused instead on a profession as a journalist. Throughout the rest of his life he would certainly be a fantastic advocate for peace, something that also would certainly later on influence his writing. He was additionally a committed socialist and also it shows in his writing, not the very least in his plays. In 1929 came his development as an author with the unique "The Good Buddies" that made him popular even outside the UK.

The quote is not necessarily a statement of Priestley's own opinion on comedy, but rather seems to be his summary of his speculative interpretation of Meredith's supposed opinion of comedy. Furthermore, "comedy" here may not mean exactly what it means today: it is capitalized even when not at the beginning of a sentence, suggesting a special new sense, and it is contrasted with "Humour" (the British English spelling has two "U"s) also capitalized all the time, which supposedly is a different kind of funniness. There are numerous other terms with initial capitals, and I can't tell which are terms with special new meanings and which are not. For example, "Essay" is capitalized, but seems to just mean "essay", while "Humour", "Comedy", "Comic Spirit", "Comic Stage", "Irony", "Folly", and "Comic" seem to be capitalized to indicate that they mean something different from the uncapitalized versions of these terms. There is exactly one smile in the Old Testament – Job, ironically, in the book of suffering – though in many passages faces are said to “shine”, which could mean smiling or could mean heavenly radiance. Eastern religions, however, often use the smile to denote enlightenment. The Buddha and various religious figures were depicted with serene smiles, though the original Buddhist texts are as devoid of smiling as scripture. Jesus weeps but never smiles. A: J.B. Priestley rejected a knighthood in 1965 due to his opposition to the British honours system and his political beliefs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1upS2cyl2t_QryOAEWRqUiW2uuf_sU2ya-uLpdONUDNw/edit?pli=1#heading=h.c9t6hqhesh0c

An absurd fashion of dress or speech or the like, seeking applause but finding itself ridiculed on the Comic Stage, perishes at a touch ; and if Meredith’s theory went no further than this, it would be true, but not exactly new. It is his larger claims that are too sweeping, particularly those he would make for the Comic Spirit informing his own work. Sylvester has a great popular sense, as good as any writer I've ever worked with. He knows what audiences want to see, and what they don't want to see. The meaning is obscured further by Priestley's statement that Meredith may be wrong, and maybe not as funny a writer as he thinks himself to be: Orwell and Priestley knew each other and Orwell denounced the latter as being pro-communist which makes me wonder whether one quote was explicitly designed to undermine or contradict the other, and which came first. I wonder whether Priestley and Orwell had an argument about what humor or comedy was, spawning both the quotes at more or less the same time. As a child, we lived for a time near the sea. I loved going to watch the boats with the tones of the sky and sea a silken glow.

Our collection contains 30 quotes who is written / told by Priestley, under the main topics: Age - Humor. I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning. J. B. Priestley It comes from memories of holding smiles with 💋 kisses, that we knew would be our last time together in this world after all, then our love together would be lost in life's fall. If there is one thing left that I would like to do, it's to write something really beautiful. And I could do it, you know. I could still do it. I hope there is a way we will meet after this world, you l will seek before and after all, but now all we have is dreams of just that one day, when our love ruled us entirely, forever and past all.

Living in an age of advertisement, we are perpetually disillusioned. The perfect life is spread before us every day, but it changes and withers at a touch." Just as this emoji expresses more than mere happiness – tears adding the ironic twist – smiles themselves convey so much more, too.’
