• Como geólogo, me encantan las observaciones de la Tierra, pero es ridículo vincular este objetivo a un 'consenso' de que los humanos están causando el calentamiento global cuando la experiencia humana, los datos geológicos y la historia, y el enfriamiento actual pueden argumentar lo contrario. El 'consenso', como muchos han dicho, simplemente representa la ausencia de ciencia definitiva. Usted sabe tan bien como yo que el "miedo al calentamiento global" se está utilizando como herramienta política para aumentar el control gubernamental sobre las vidas, los ingresos y la toma de decisiones de los estadounidenses.

• One of the most important things about the geology on the moon is your descriptions of what you see, comparing them to things that you've seen on Earth so that the geologists and the scientists on the ground would know what you're talking about; and then take pictures of them.

• Ah!" I cried, springing up. "But no! no! My uncle shall never know it. He would insist upon doing it too. He would want to know all about it. Ropes could not hold him, such a determined geologist as he is! He would start, he would, in spite of everything and everybody, and he would take me with him, and we should never get back. No, never! never!" My over-excitement was beyond all description.

• [In geology,] As in history, the material in hand remains silent if no questions are asked. The nature of these questions depends on the "school" to which the geologist belongs and on the objectivity of his investigations. Hans Cloos called this way of interrogation "the dialogue with the earth," "das Gesprach mit der Erde."

• If I as a geologist were called upon to explain briefly our modern ideas of the origin of the earth and the development of life on it to a simple, pas- toral people, such as the tribes to whom the Book of Genesis was addressed, I could hardly do better than follow rather closely much of the language of the first chapter of Genesis.

• A los primeros geólogos debió parecerles casi tan improbable que las leyes de los terremotos arrojaran algún día luz sobre el origen de las montañas, como a los primeros astrónomos que la caída de una manzana ayudara a explicar los movimientos de la Luna.

• The earliest signs of living things, announcing as they do a high complexity of organization, entirely exclude the hypothesis of a transmutation from lower to higher grades of being. The first fiat of Creation which went forth, doubtlessly ensured the perfect adaptation of animals to the surrounding media; and thus, whilst the geologist recognizes a beginning, he can see in the innumerable facts of the eye of the earliest crustacean, the same evidences of Omniscience as in the completion of the vertebrate form.

• Hice una película cuando tenía unos 30 años; es una historia de madurez llamada 'Gas Food Lodging', y estoy muy orgulloso de esa pequeña película independiente. Interpreto a un joven geólogo inglés, un tipo sencillo y cariñoso. No habla demasiado. Es un tipo tranquilo, y se queda con la chica.

• Most people don't put things together. Geologists study the surface of the earth and geological phenomena. Meteorogists study the weather. That isn't science. Science is the study of all things that affect human beings. They have to be together! A meteorologist has difficulty talking with a sociologist, because they don't understand each other. You can't teach sciences in 'bits'; you have to bring it all together. Science is a way of thinking - a way at arriving at conclusions without your own opinion in it.

• When geologists announced the beginning of a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene, humans destroying the environment, one of the main things they pointed to is the use of plastics in the earth. We don't think about it, but it has a tremendous effect. But these are things you don't see right in front of your eyes. You need to think about them a little, to see what the consequences are. It's easy to put them aside, and the media don't talk about them.

• Philosophers, if they have much imagination, are apt to let it loose as well as other people, and in such cases are sometimes led to mistake a fancy for a fact. Geologists, in particular, have very frequently amused themselves in this way, and it is not a little amusing to follow them in their fancies and their waking dreams. Geology, indeed, in this view, may be called a romantic science.

• The age of the earth was thus increased from a mere score of millions [of years] to a thousand millions and more, and the geologist who had before been bankrupt in time now found himself suddenly transformed into a capitalist with more millions in the bank than he knew how to dispose of ... More cautious people, like myself, too cautious, perhaps, are anxious first of all to make sure that the new [radioactive] clock is not as much too fast as Lord Kelvin's was too slow.

• Poets need be in no degree jealous of the geologists. The stony science, with buried creations for its domains, and half an eternity charged with its annals, possesses its realms of dim and shadowy fields, in which troops of fancies already walk like disembodied ghosts in the old fields of Elysium, and which bid fair to be quite dark and uncertain enough for all the purposes of poesy for centuries to come.

• About thirty years ago there was much talk that geologists ought only to observe and not theorise; and I well remember some one saying that at this rate a man might as well go into a gravel-pit and count the pebbles and describe the colours. How odd it is that anyone should not see that all observation must be for or against some view if it is to be of any service!

• Difícilmente se puede convencer a un hombre del error en una vida, sino que hay que contentarse con la reflexión de que el progreso de la ciencia es lento. Si él no está convencido, puede que lo estén sus nietos. Los geólogos nos dicen que se necesitaron cien años para demostrar que los fósiles son orgánicos, y ciento cincuenta más para demostrar que no deben atribuirse al diluvio de Noaj.

• Darwin was a biological evolutionist, because he was first a uniformitarian geologist. Biology is pre-eminent to-day among the natural sciences, because its younger sister, Geology, gave it the means.
