Can I just say? I'm crying on the inside (gross).
This book makes me so happy/sad. It's like listening to the Smiths or graduating from college.
This book answers so many questions I have about the meaning of life, and how that is intrinsically related to time. This element, the element of our experience. This book hurt me in its beginning and I gave up on it. Boy am I glad I picked it back up.
Only I know my pain.

Conversely, rich and interesting events are capable of filling time, until hours, even days, are shortened and speed past on wings; whereas on a larger scale, interest lends the passage of time breadth, solidity, and weight, so that years rich in events pass much more slowly than do paltry, bare, featherweight years that are blown before the wind and are gone.

It was, however, striking - in the best sense of the word - that precisely those rules that corresponded exactly to their overseers' economic interests enjoyed unconditional veneration, whereas rules for which said correspondence was less applicable were more likely to be winked at.
Illness is definitely not elegant, and certainly not venerable - such a view is itself a sickness, or leads to it.
