Geology Quotes

We learn geology the morning after the earthquake Picture Quote #1

Physical geography and geology are inseparable scientific twins Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Geology differs from physics, chemistry, and biology in that the possibilities for experiment are limited Picture Quote #1

Bacteria mineralized the rocks; they deposited the iron. They made the geology we see Picture Quote #1

You won’t see me writing about particle physics, or even planetary geology, or chemistry. I practically failed chemistry, and if I had to write a book in any of those areas, I don’t think it would go well Picture Quote #1

While I was at community college, I studied industrial design because I thought maybe I’d be an automotive designer - I grew up in Detroit - and I also studied, geology because I was interested in science, a little bit Picture Quote #1

I’m fascinated by the narrative of geology, and I’m a veritable pack rat of a collector on the road. I keep a rock hammer in my car Picture Quote #1

New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me Picture Quote #1

Geology, in the magnitude and sublimity of the objects of which it treats, undoubtedly ranks, in the scale of the sciences, next to astronomy Picture Quote #1

We learn geology the morning after the earthquake, on ghastly diagrams of cloven mountains, upheaved plains, and the dry bed of the sea Picture Quote #1

It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book Picture Quote #1

You can say, like, planet Earth has an existing geology, and what we do as human beings and as architects is that we try to sort of alter and modify and expand the geology Picture Quote #1

I happen to hold a bachelor of science degree in geology... And my greatest contribution to the field of science is that I never entered it Picture Quote #1

If you want to understand geology, study earthquakes. If you want to understand the economy, study the Depression Picture Quote #1

Can a geology teacher blithely tell his students that the earth is flat, or a European history professor that the Holocaust didn’t happen? That’s not academic freedom, but dereliction of duty Picture Quote #1

My work more than didn’t fit in. It crossed willy-nilly the boundaries that people had spent their lives building up. It hits some 30 subfields of biology, even geology Picture Quote #1

Up high, biology vanishes to reveal a world shaped by the starker forces of geology and meteorology, the bare bones of the earth wrapped in sky Picture Quote #1

The writing process for a short story feels more like field geology, where you keep turning the thing over and over, noting its qualities in detail, hammering at it, putting it near flame, pouring different acids on it, and then finally you figure out what it is, or you just give up and mount it on a ring and have an awkward chunky piece of jewelry that seems weirdly dominating but that you for some reason like. I could be wrong about field geology here Picture Quote #1

Much as I admired the elegance of physical theories, which at that time geology wholly lacked, I preferred a life in the woods to one in the laboratory Picture Quote #1

In geology the effects to be explained have almost all occurred already, whereas in these other sciences effects actually taking place have to be explained Picture Quote #1

As geology is essentially a historical science, the working method of the geologist resembles that of the historian. This makes the personality of the geologist of essential importance in the way he analyzes the past Picture Quote #1

Experiments in geology are far more difficult than in physics and chemistry because of the greater size of the objects, commonly outside our laboratories, up to the earth itself, and also because of the fact that the geologic time scale exceeds the human time scale by a million and more times. This difference in time allows only direct observations of the actual geologic processes, the mind having to imagine what could possibly have happened in the past Picture Quote #1

Nature is a vast tablet, inscribed with signs, each of which has its own significancy, and becomes poetry in the mind when read; and geology is simply the key by which myriads of these signs, hitherto indecipherable, can be unlocked and perused, and thus a new province added to the poetical domain Picture Quote #1

Geology, perhaps more than any other department of natural philosophy, is a science of contemplation. It requires no experience or complicated apparatus, no minute processes upon the unknown processes of matter. It demands only an enquiring mind and senses alive to the facts almost everywhere presented in nature. And as it may be acquired without much difficulty, so it may be improved without much painful exertion Picture Quote #1

Geology is the science which investigates the successive changes that have taken place in the organic and inorganic kingdoms of nature; it enquires into the causes of these changes, and the influence which they have exerted in modifying the surface and external structure of our planet Picture Quote #1

Geology differs as widely from cosmogony, as speculations concerning the creation of man differ from history Picture Quote #1

The desert sharpened the sweet ache of his longing, amplified it, gave shape to it in sere geology and clean slant of light Picture Quote #1

Here I was into astronomy, and here into anthropology, and there I go into geology. It was much more fun to be able to research and write about whatever I wanted to Picture Quote #1

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs, politics, investment and technology Picture Quote #1
