“I think we all make our mark in some way. OK, not everyone changes the world by landing on the moon or creating great works of literature but we all make a difference. And what’s the world anyway, except our experience of it? How do we know that a kind word or smile doesn’t alter the course of somebody else’s history? What seems small to us can be huge to another person. I think the thing I enjoy most about history is trying to uncover the small acts and the little details that make a bigger picture.”
