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)
