"All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible." -T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom Seven Pillars of Wisdom (1922) by T. E. Lawrence is an autobiographical account of Lawrence's experiences as a member of the British Forces of North Africa based in Jordan during the Arab Revolt of 1916-1918. Thanks to a gift for writing, Lawrence was able to provide British readers with accounts of the events and his military adventures. This edition is a replica of an unofficial version of Seven Pillars of Wisdom that Lawrence circulated among friends four years before the first edition of the book was officially released in 1926.
