As geology is essentially a historical science, the working method of the geologist resembles that of the historian. This makes the personality of the geologist of essential importance in the way he analyzes the past.

Reinout Willem van Bemmelen

Essentially every scientist, when posed with the question, "If you want to get science knowledge from Mars, do you want to send a geologist or do you want to send a robot?" Well, the real answer is, you can send 100 robots for the price of sending one geologist, so let's send 100 robots to 100 different locations, and then we would all benefit. So that's the answer you would get. And I agree with that answer.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Ah!" I cried, springing up. "But no! no! My uncle shall never know it. He would insist upon doing it too. He would want to know all about it. Ropes could not hold him, such a determined geologist as he is! He would start, he would, in spite of everything and everybody, and he would take me with him, and we should never get back. No, never! never!" My over-excitement was beyond all description.

Jules Verne

Linda McCartney

I am a geologist.

Robert Ballard

There are some geologists involved with prospecting for oil and other hidden resources who can pick up a rock and say, 'Yes, there's oil under there.' A geologist who has been studying those kinds of rocks for 10 or 20 years is able to make that pronouncement.

Christopher Alexander

I suggest that the best geologist is he who has seen most rocks.

Herbert Harold Read

My dad was a geologist and my mum was a nurse who directed amateur theatrics.

Matthew Goode

From as young as I can remember, I wanted to be - in order - an astronaut, a geologist, and a biologist.

Kathleen Rubins

My grandpa was a geologist, and I always had this fascination with not only earth sciences but ancient history.

Cole Sprouse

My father is a geologist and he really thinks that scientists are going to save the world, so he wanted me to be one.

Lucy Worsley

If I was going for the popular vote I would've won easily. But I would've been in California and New York. I wouldn't have been in Maine. I wouldn't have been in Iowa. I wouldn't have been in Nebraska and all of those states that I had to win in order to win this. I would've been in New York, I would've been in California. I never even went there.
