“No Geologist worth anything is permanently bound to a desk or laboratory, but the charming notion that true science can only be based on unbiased observation of nature in the raw is mythology. Creative work, in geology and anywhere else, is interaction and synthesis: half-baked ideas from a bar room, rocks in the field, chains of thought from lonely walks, numbers squeezed from rocks in a laboratory, numbers from a calculator riveted to a desk, fancy equipment usually malfunctioning on expensive ships, cheap equipment in the human cranium, arguments before a road cut.”

“No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or evening beam; but the love and gratitude of united America settle upon it in one eternal sunshine. From beneath that humble roof went forth the intrepid and unselfish warrior, the magistrate who knew no glory but his country's good; to that he returned, happiest when his work was done. There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace.”

“No girls until after your GCSEs." I'm so startled that I just gape at her as she hands it back. I'm used to it-it's what she always tells Rosh and me: No boys until after your GCSEs- but she said it. She may have waited until my father wasn't in the room, but she did. I heard her say it and I want to grab her and hug her because I don't think I've ever loved her so much. Girls. Maybe she's coming around after all.”

“No god is coming to save you - no messiah is coming to save you - all the gods and all the messiahs that can save our world are already here - they are us - each one of us - so, open your eyes o mighty lords of time, and cleanse this world of all barbarian impurities, with the force of your bold, brave and humane actions.”

“No God, Only Goodness (The Sonnet) Kingdom of God is manifestation, Of a nonsectarian mind. It means conquering our biases, It means conquering all drives of divide. True goodness is devoid of division, For division is antithesis of goodness. Whatever is civilized is nonsectarian, Whoever is human is undivided. There is no heaven, only good human, There is no paradise, only good people. When people and people live as one people, That is a human society, alive and civil. Civility is just a fancy synonym for amity. Divinity is the archaic term for indivisibility.”
