“Always there has been an adventure just around the corner--and the world is still full of corners.”
Roy Chapman Andrews

“I never let practical considerations clutter my youthful dreams.”
Roy Chapman Andrews

“Palaeontology is the Aladdin's lamp of the most deserted and lifeless regions of the earth; it touches the rocks and there spring forth in orderly succession the monarchs of the past and the ancient river streams and savannahs wherein they flourished. The rocks usually hide their story in the most difficult and inaccessible places.”
Roy Chapman Andrews, On the Trail to Ancient Man: A Narrative of the Fieldwork of the Central Asiatic Expeditions
