"In Africa a thing is true at first light and a lie by noon and you have
no more respect for it than for the lovely, perfect weed-fringed lake you
see across the sun-baked salt plain. You have walked across that plain in
the morning and you know that no such lake is there. But now it is there
absolutely true, beautiful and believable." ~Ernest Hemingway
