Take it all in all, I do not believe anybody on earth has a worse time than an Emperor penguin.

Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time which has been devised.

And I tell you, if you have the desire for knowledge and the power to give it physical expression, go out and explore.

In Antarctica you get to know people so well that in comparison you do not seem to know the people in civilization at all.

The luxuries of civilization satisfy only those wants which they themselves create.

If you march your Winter Journeys you will have your reward, so long as all you want is a penguin's egg.

Ah! destructive Ignorance, what shall be done to chase thee out of the World!

Archaeology is not only the hand maid of history, it is also the conservator of art.

I'm hoping that with the high profile that the Go-Go's are going to have over the next year, that if anybody is interested in what else I do, I'll have something I can say that I do.

The actual distance a bad golfer is going to hit the ball with any club obviously depends on many factors, not the least of which is whether the ball was actually hit at all.

Forget and forgive. This is not difficult when properly understood.
