Summary

This quote reflects on the irony of life events and experiences. Often, individuals are unaware of the significance or the impact of certain moments until they have already lived through them. It highlights how people may not fully appreciate or understand the meaning of an experience in the present moment and can only truly grasp its meaning in retrospect. It suggests that sometimes we fail to recognize the value of our experiences until we gain perspective on them later in life.

Obscurantism is the academic theorist's revenge on society for having consigned him or her to relative obscurity -- a way of proclaiming one's superiority in the face of one's diminished influence.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

Wait. This was the first lesson I had learned about love. The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways -- and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.
