<p><em><strong>“All the gestures of children are graceful; the reign of distortion and unnatural attitudes commences with the introduction of the dancing master” Joshua Reynolds, 1769</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Laughter is an interior convulsion, producing a distortion of the features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is infectious and, though intermittent, incurable.” Ambrose Bierce, 1897</strong></em></p>
