Seven deadly sins?Hardly. There is an eighth; deliberate illiteracy.<br />

I'm a scientific artist. Don't see too many of those, now do you?<br />
<br />
Reading is my passion. The concept of "too many books" is naught but an illusion.<br />

Left handed people make up 5% of the world's population. They are also, on average, 3%- 4% smarter than right handed people.<br />
Thus, I've got the majority of you beat already.<br />

"Miss Eliza Bennet, let me persuade you to follow my example, and take a turn about the room. -- I assure you it is very refreshing after sitting so long in one attitude."<br />
<br />
Elizabeth was surprised, but agreed to it immediately. Miss Bingley succeeded no less in the real object of her civility; Mr. Darcy looked up. He was as much awake to the novelty of attention in that quarter as Elizabeth herself could be, and unconsciously closed his book. He was directly invited to join their party, but he declined it, observing that he could imagine but two motives for their choosing to walk up and down the room together, with either of which motives his joining them would interfere. "What could he mean? she was dying to know what could be his meaning" -- and asked Elizabeth whether she could at all understand him?<br />
<br />
"Not at all," was her answer; "but depend upon it, he means to be severe on us, and our surest way of disappointing him will be to ask nothing about it."<br />
<br />
Miss Bingley, however, was incapable of disappointing Mr. Darcy in any thing, and persevered therefore in requiring an explanation of his two motives.<br />
<br />
"I have not the smallest objection to explaining them," said he, as soon as she allowed him to speak. "You either choose this method of passing the evening because you are in each other's confidence, and have secret affairs to discuss, or because you are conscious that your figures appear to the greatest advantage in walking; -- if the first, I should be completely in your way; -- and if the second, I can admire you much better as I sit by the fire."<br />
<br />
"Oh! shocking!" cried Miss Bingley. "I never heard any thing so abominable. How shall we punish him for such a speech?"<br />
<br />
"Nothing so easy, if you have but the inclination," said Elizabeth. "We can all plague and punish one another. Tease him -- laugh at him. -- Intimate as you are, you must know how it is to be done."<br />

"But I don't want to go to the stupid party!"<br />
"Shut it Louis, or I'll burn down your house. Again."<br /><br />

"Is there anyone in this world who truly likes themselves?"<br />
"Stupid people."<br />
