James Hutton
“The result, therefore, of our present inquiry is,
that we find no vestige of a beginning -
no prospect of an end.”
James Hutton

“Rocks are time made manifest.”
Helen Gordon

George Monbiot
“walking in the Cambrian Desert, it sometimes seems impossible to imagine trees returning there, the emptiness stands as an incontestable fact, as if it were a matter of geology, not ecology”
George Monbiot, Feral: Rewilding the Land, the Sea and Human Life

Louisa May Alcott
“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

Iain McCalman
“Finally, on October 26, 1981, the Great Barrier Reef received what two of its finest historians, James and Margarita Bowen, have called a 'conservation climax' - World Heritage listing 'as the most impressive marine area in the world.' The Reef met all four of UNESCO's 'natural criteria.' It was an outstanding example of the earth's evolutionary history, an arena of significant ongoing geological processes and biological evolution, a superlative natural phenomenon, and a significant natural habitat containing threatened species of animals or plants with exceptional universal scientific value.”
Iain McCalman, The Reef: A Passionate History: The Great Barrier Reef from Captain Cook to Climate Change
