- "I’m a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay’s geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap."― Robert Ballard
- "It is this, at its most basic, that makes science a humane pursuit; it acknowledges the commonality of people’s experience."― John Charles Polanyi
