The light of
memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is
the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am
dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or
dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly
aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a
fleeting image in the moving water.
-- Eugene Ionesco

Playwright
