~By Lucius Annaeus Seneca ~
No beast has ever conquered the earth; and the natural world has never been conquered by muscular force.
~By Liberty Hyde Bailey ~
Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.

I put up my thumb and it blotted out the planet Earth.
~By Neil Armstrong ~
I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap.
