Quotes by Kathleen Sheppard (?)

“It may be said of some very old places, as of some very old books, that they are destined to be forever new. The nearer we approach them, the more remote they seem: the more we study them, the more we have yet to learn. Time augments rather than diminishes their everlasting novelty; and to our descendants of a thousand years hence it may safely be predicted that they will be even more fascinating than to ourselves. This is true of many ancient lands, but of no place is it so true as of Egypt.”

“Each of these women, alone and together, has an amazing story to tell. Written one over another like a stratigraphy of heartache, happiness, struggle, and success, their accounts show how they overcame rules meant to keep them out of a discipline not meant for them.”
