“...It is only now that memory works both ways. Which of us dreamed it - those from the country of nights five times as warm and as cold, or those who turned away and woke?”
“Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.”
“Egypt.mother of civilization, dreaming herself through the centuries. Dreaming us all, her children: those who stay and work for her and complain of her, and those who leave and yearn for her and blame her with bitterness for driving them away.”
“We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories...And those that carry us forward, are dreams.”
“It was one of those moments of perfect tiredness, of having conquered not only the work at hand, but the night who had blocked the way.”
