The moment at the end of "Middlemarch" ..
"The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who have lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."
Reminds me of Yevtushenko's poem "People" with the 'verse'
"And if a man (sic) lived in obscurity
making friends in that obscurity
obscurity is not uninteresting"
I'm totally over 'celebrities', politicians & famous people. Give me some good ordinary folk any day.
