Terse but true.  I have finished Middlemarch, and I recommend reading it.

‘Ah, there’s enormous patience wanted with the way of the world.  But it is easier for a man to wait patiently when he has friends who love him, and ask for nothing better than to help him through, so far as it lies in their power.’
p. 645

Enormous insight.  I hope to be able to reread it someday ‘soon.’
