Paleozoic Era

Famous quotes containing the words paleozoic and/or era:

    “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)

    “The era of long parades past an official podium filled with cold faces is gone. Celebrating is now a right, not a duty.”
    —Lothar De Maizière (b. 1940)
