Dr. Ferdinand Cole Lane was born in Minnesota, but he has spent most of his life on the East Coast or traveling in other countries.

When he was in his early twenties, biologist Ferdinand Cole Lane, troubled by what he described as “weak lungs” left his part-time job with the Massachusetts Commission of Fisheries and Game and headed for Alberta, Canada, where he “passed the next six months in a log cabin on the remote frontier.”

Born on a wheat farm on the western edge of Minnesota, Lane “drifted” (his word) eastward with his parents and three older siblings in the wake of his father’s successive bankruptcies, first to Minneapolis, then Canton, Ohio, and Lowell, Massachusetts, finally arriving at Truro, Massachusetts, near the tip of Cape Cod,

“اللؤلؤ -على عكس الماس أو العقيق الذي يجب أن يُقطع ويصقَل- هو التحفة الوحيدة الكاملة من أصلها في الطبيعة.”
Ferdinand C. Lane, All About the Sea

“يحوي الدم الذي بك ملحًا بنفس النسبة التي كان بها في ماء البحر عندما ظهرت به أولى الكائنات الحية التي بعروقها دم. ويذكِّرنا الملح بالأزمنة البعيدة جدا عندما بدأت المخلوقات الواطية جدا في سلم الحياة صعودها في هذا السلم. وهو يذكِّرك بأنك مدين بنشأتك للبحر الذي هو منبع كل الأحياء.”
Ferdinand C. Lane, All About the Sea

“أمسِك قوقعةً كبيرة بالقرب من أُذنك وقد تسمع دويًّا مثل صوت البحر، ولكنك قد تسمع قصصًا أعجب لو استمعتَ لحديث عن حياة وعادات المخلوق الذي صنع تلك القوقعة.”
Ferdinand C. Lane, All About the Sea
