How can the mind be so imperfect?" she says with a smile. I look at my hands. Bathed in the moonlight, they seem like statues, proportioned to no purpose. "It may well be imperfect," I say, "but it leaves traces. And we can follow those traces, like footsteps in the snow. " "Where do the lead?" "To oneself," I answer. "That's where the mind is. Without the mind, nothing leads anywhere. " I look up. The winter moon is brilliant, over the Town, above the Wall. "Not one thing is your fault," I comfort her.

More importantly, the fact that the citizens of a country work longer than others in comparable countries does not necessarily mean that they like working longer hours. They may be compelled to work long hours, even if they actually want to take longer holidays.
