"One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other peopleâ€™s lives simply by existing."
