What is the meaning of "quite so much"? I've never seen this expression, except for "so much". He felt quite so much an idiot. He felt so much an idiot. What is the difference? Thank you in advance!

I think the use of "quite so much" here is best confined to negative sentences, in which it feels much more natural. "He NEVER felt quite so much an idiot..." or more colloquially, "He'd never felt like such an idiot (before)."

it means that he felt himself a little-bit idiot
