"Messages [are] sent and received through subtle cues in posture, expressions, and tone of voice. The face is the most important of all of these nonverbal social communication 'instruments'."

"We don't usually think much about it, but the way we respond to the world---and the way people respond to us---is largely played out on the stage of the face.

"Our faces display our emotions---but they also shape them."
