Written by Edward Gibbon Asked by Mishu - Fri Jun 22 21:31:39 2007 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, I read it from cover to cover and back again. It took me forever, too. I started in 27BC and did not finish until 476AD. You can skip chapters 4,5 and 9. They just have stuff everyone knows. Like how Caligula ordered his soldiers to pick sea shells on the French beaches. Okay, I'm back. What was the question again?

Q. she puts up in her profile with this quote:- ""Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused." --Edward Gibbon" its like shes saying those who hated her are all ugly and jealous of her beauty. sorry i think if you know this girl in real life then u know what i mean Asked by Delia - Sat Apr 26 14:20:21 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. I think she is saying that some people are born beautiful on the outside. And, those who aren't born that way are jealous. I would rather have inner beauty anyways.
