Zitat des Tages von Mary Leakey:
I never felt interpretation was my job.
Now this really is something to put on the mantelpiece.
She stops, pauses, turns to the left to glance at some possible threat or irregularity, and then continues to the north. This motion, so intensely human, transcends time.
I dug things up. I was curious. I liked to draw what I found.
The first money I ever earned was for drawing stone tools.
No amounts of stone and bone could yield the kinds of information that the paintings gave so freely.
I'd rather be in a tent than in a house.
You only find what you are looking for, really, if the truth be known.
I quite liked having a baby - I think I won't put it more strongly than that. But I had no intention of allowing motherhood to disrupt my work as an archeologist.
