"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confrims my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearace of either merit or sense."
-Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
