bubblesort 's review for:
Middlemarch
by George Eliot
This book was brilliant and I'm having a lot of trouble articulating my thoughts, but the closing line is just so beautiful and sums it up so well:
"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."
Human life is fleeting and most of us end up living quiet un-written lives significant to those around us but largely forgotten. And that's ok.
