That mist which covers everything in that blissful time when childhood is just ending, and out of that vast circle, happy and gay, there is a path growing narrower and narrower, and it is delightful and alarming to enter the ballroom, bright and splendid as it is. … Who has not been through it?” Excerpt From Anna Karenina Leo Tolstoy
Description: “The suppressed eagerness which played over her face, and flitted between the brilliant eyes and the faint smile that curved her red lips.

Deliberately she shrouded the light in her eyes, but it shone against her will in the faintly perceptible smile.” Excerpt From Anna Karenina Leo Tolstoy
Description: “But there was another class of people, the real people. To this class they all belonged, and in it the great thing was to be elegant, generous, plucky, gay, to abandon oneself without a blush to every passion, and to laugh at everything else.” Excerpt From Anna Karenina Leo Tolstoy
Description: “Oh Jake," Brett said, "We could have had such a damned good time together." Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton.
