Elle m'a dit d'aller siffler là-haut sur la colline De l'attendre avec un petit bouquet d'églantines J'ai cueilli des fleurs et j'ai sifflé tant que j'ai pu J'ai attendu, attendu, elle n'est jamais venue.
Joe Dassin, Siffler sur la colline
Đông phong nhật dạ động giang thành, Nhân tự tiêu điều thảo tự thanh. - 東風晝夜動江城, 人自悲悽草自青。

The mathematical formula of Happiness (University College London, 2014)
“It is very poetic to say that we are made from the dust of the stars. Amazingly, it’s also true! Much of our bodies, and our planet, are made of elements that were created in the explosions of massive stars. Let’s examine exactly how this can be.” (NASA’s Educators’ Corner)
(Some science of smiling, certainly not another "how to read (and fake) a smile" article)
“The “science of smiling” as such was initiated by Charles Darwin. He noticed that the cause, consequences and manifestations of smiling is universal whereas many other nonverbal of body language behaviors (like gestures or touch) differ between cultures and are therefore probably learnt. Babies born blind smile like sighted infants. We begin smiling at five weeks: babies learn that crying gets attention of adults but smiling keeps it.“
