Quote by Arthur Machen
We both wondered whether these contradictions that one can't avoid if one begins to think of time and space may not really be proofs that the whole of life is a dream, and the moon and stars bits of nightmare.

The speaker ponders if these contradictions indicate that life is a mere illusion, akin to a dream, with celestial bodies like the moon and stars being fragments of troubling nightmares. The quote provokes consideration about the nature of existence and raises questions about the true fabric of reality.
