“What a strange creature is a laughing fool,As if a man were created to no useBut only to show his teeth.”

“Although his teeth were so prominent, I think he had a lovely smile. He became self-conscious and embarrassed only when he was having a really hearty laugh - when he guffawed like a donkey and showed all his teeth off. Then his hand would fly to hide the lower part of his face.”

“The force with which he wanted it both ways made him grit his teeth. What kind of fool wanted it only one way?”

“There are people who laugh to show their fine teeth; and there are those who cry to show their good hearts.”

“then she was laughing. They both were, and the savage teeth were the most joyous sight Phaedra had seen for a long time. It was as if they were dancing. There it was. Suddenly the strangeness of Quintana of Charyn's face made sense. Because it was a face meant for laughing, but it had never been given a chance.”

“...But living creatures are strange. They are made in such a way that they can actualize only what their minuscule minds wish for.”
