Famous quotes containing the words paleozoic and/or climate:

    “When you were a tadpole and I was a fish
    In the Paleozoic time,
    And side by side, on the ebbing tide,
    We sprawled through the ooze and slime,
    Or skittered with many a caudal flip
    Through the depths of the Cambrian fen,
    My heart was rife with the joy of life,
    For I loved you even then.”
    —Langdon Smith (1858–1908)

    “There is much to be said against the climate on the coast of British Columbia and Alaska; yet, I believe that the scenery of one good day will compensate the tourists who will go there in increasing numbers.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
