Geology Quote

[bunnyjadwiga]

"Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain....
'If I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology.'"

-- John McPhee, Basin and Range, p. 10-11.
