Air Quotes

"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 Elliot, Middlemarch

I listened to the entire book of Middlemarch on "tape" today. That's how mindless this work is. I've been doing it from 8:45 AM until now (1:15 AM), with little hope for a quick end. But I just had to share how gorgeous I think the end of Middlemarch is--quoted above.
