What lessons on life have you learned from great/classic lit?

Absolutely none that are valuable, I have only gained in confusion and depression.

You should watch that movie (Burn After Reading). That scene is one of the funniest I've ever seen.

Instead of trying to change others. Change yourself
Your mind and body are the only things that you truly own in this life. take care of them...
Nature love courage
Being self-conscious makes you less capable in almost every way possible

there's more but that's what really stuck with

20th century literature? Nothing, just that life is fucked up, everything sucks, and we know nothing.
Classics? Be manly and smart, life is about outsmarting and impaling your enemies and coming home to your smoking hot wife and sons who will grow up to rule over their peers.

I recently started with the greeks, just finished Homer, and boy you better make those sacrifices to the gods or you are in for a world of pain
