Came across this quote when I was watching Middlemarch the other night. Struck a chord in me.
“But the effect of her being on those around
her was incalculably diffusive: for 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
lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”
― George Eliot, Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life
