- Sir Frederick Bruce: No, my friend, that is not proof. One never knows what lies behind the curtain.
- Col. John Beetham: I have no heart for this lecture tonight. The desert is too full of memories.

- Col. John Beetham: You see, we explorers are always searching, reaching out into the darkness for something that is just beyond our reach.
