In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes
      tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and
      quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be
      admired for something more substantial than his
      well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero:
      the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop,
      the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous,
      unpublicized jobs.

                        -Daniel J Boorstin, historian, professor,
                         attorney, and writer (1914-2004)
