“There is one quality that characterizes all of us who deal with the sciences of the earth and its life-we are never bored. We can't be. There is always something new to be investigated. Every mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one...”
SpeechEn inglés “There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds, in the ebb and flow of the tides; in the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in these repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
SpeechEn inglés “The sediments are a sort of epic poem of the earth.”
The Sea Around Us, Chapter 6En inglés “Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life? They should not be called "insecticides," but "biocides."”
Silent SpringEn inglés “We have been troubled about the world, and had almost lost faith in man; it helps to think about the long history of the earth, and of how life came to be.”
