Quotes by Paul Watson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“European explorers ignoring indigenous geographical names and creating their own was all about ego, honor, and power, and some sense that having someone speak your name while pointing to an island or a strait was the closest one could get to everlasting life on Earth. In the relentless drive for discovery, the planet seemed to be their plaything.”
Paul Watson, Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition

“Like Shakespeare, it seems the Franklin tale never grows old because people of each generation can read into it what they want, or need, to see.”
Paul Watson, Ice Ghosts: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.”
Edgar Mitchell
