Galapagos tortoise," she said. "I'm one hundred and seven years old." "Huh. And you don't look a day over a hundred and five," I said. ~ James Patterson
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by James Patterson
Graff was floating on his back in the pool when George Wall and I went outside. His brown belly swelled above its surface like the humpback of a Galapagos tortoise. Mrs. Graff, fully clothed, was sitting by herself in a sunny corner. Her black dress and black hair seemed to annul the sunlight. Her face and body had the distinction that takes the place of beauty in people who have suffered long and hard. ~ Ross Macdonald
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Ross Macdonald
I love travelling, and had the pleasure of being in the most developed country in the world and then parts of two of the most pristine natural areas of the world: the Galapagos islands and the Equador Amazon jungle. The contrast was incredible. ~ Adam Garcia
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Adam Garcia
In Galapagos, as elsewhere, things of the mind, including intellectual ramifications from evolutionary theory, and things of the spirit, like the feeling one gets from a Queen Anne's lace of stars in the moonless Galapagean sky, struggle toward accommodation with an elementary desire for material comfort ... because so many regard this archipelago as preeminently a terrain of the mind and spirit, a locus of biological thought and psychological rejuvenation. The sheer strength of Darwin's insight into the development of biological life gently urges a visitor to be more than usually observant here- to notice, say, that while the thirteen Galapagean finches are all roughly the same hue, it is possible to separate them according to marked differences in the shapes of their bills and feeding habits. ~ Barry Lopez
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Barry Lopez
When I was writing some of songs for the record in Galapagos it was the feeling of being there I wanted to evoke more than anything. I remember hearing all the parts of the songs in my mind when I was walking around over the lava fields. ~ Jonathan Meiburg
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Jonathan Meiburg
I am a big believer of what Darwin discovered in the Galapagos, proving that the species most responsive to change will survive over apparently stronger or more intelligent competitors. ~ John Elkann
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by John Elkann
Life on earth survives thanks to diversity, says Sekunda, because changing circumstances means today's winners can suddenly become tomorrow's losers. When the meteor hits, when the Green Revolution fails, when the bees unexpectedly die, the kind of anomalous diversity found in the Galapagos Islands - or in the technology of Japan - is exactly what will save us from the most dangerous failure of all: global success. ~ Momus
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Momus
I'm a big diver. I like to dive when I travel, and my last dive was in the Galapagos. I used to live in San Francisco and I would dive all the time in Monterey. ~ Jim Toomey
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Jim Toomey
I'd like to see the Amazon rainforests before they're all gone, and also the Galapagos - that's another one I'd like to do. I'd love to go diving in those areas. Basically, places, like, that are kind of going away, and I'd like to see them before they all become condos and high-rises. ~ Bill Engvall
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Bill Engvall
As Mary delivered what was to be her last lecture about the Galapagos Islands, she would be stopped mid-sentence for five seconds by a doubt which, if expressed in words, might have come out something like this: "Maybe I'm just a crazy lady who had wandered off the street and into this classroom and started explaining the mysteries of life to these people. And they believe me, although I am utterly mistaken about simply everything."
She had to wonder, too, about all the supposedly great teachers of the past, who, although their brains were healthy, had turned out to be as wrong as Roy about what was really going on. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Strictly cop and go's until we laid in the Galapagos
Eating tacos, higher than an opera note ~ Action Bronson
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Action Bronson
The Galapagos Islands provide a window on time. In a geologic sense, the islands are young, yet they appear ancient. ~ Frans Lanting
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Frans Lanting
Galapagos': Vonnegut Explores Big-Brain Theory
October 23, 1985, Elizabeth Mehren

The big trouble, in Kurt Vonnegut's view, is our big brains.

'Our brains are much too large,' Vonnegut said. 'We are much too busy. Our brains have proved to be terribly destructive.'

Big brains, Vonnegut said, invent nuclear weapons. Big brains terrify the planet into worrying about when those weapons will be used. Big brains are restless. Big brains demand constant amusement. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Natural science in England, as Darwin already knew to his cost, was still the purview of Christian scholars. But here was a question that Darwin found compelling: if God had created all the creatures of the world, what possible reason could there be for the variations found in the Galápagos? ~ Jonathan Clements
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Jonathan Clements
I desperately want to visit the Galapagos and meet some giant tortoises. ~ Lisa Graff
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Lisa Graff
I want to go skydiving. I'd love to go to the Galapagos. Nature still excites me. ~ Wayne Knight
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Wayne Knight
Douglas Mock has assembled the animal behavioural evidence in More than Kin and Less than Kind.6 In the Galapagos Islands young fur seals attack their newborn siblings, seizing them by the throat and tossing them into the air, killing them unless the mother seal intervenes. ~ Jonathan Sacks
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Jonathan Sacks
The Galapagos Islands are probably the most famous wildlife-watching destination in the world. And no wonder - it's almost impossible to exaggerate the sheer spectacle of the place that provided inspiration for Charles Darwin's ground-breaking theory of natural selection. ~ Mark Carwardine
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Mark Carwardine
Tortoises can survive for weeks without food or water, easily long enough to float in the Humboldt Current from South America to the Galapagos Islands. ~ Richard Dawkins
Ilhas Galapagos quotes by Richard Dawkins
I love traveling and seeing new things, learning the histories of different cultures. But I've always wanted to go to the Galapagos to see the giant turtles. ~ Mikaela Shiffrin
