A notable quote from legendary geology author, John McPhee, is cast into the Strata Gate. A gate that itself is formed into abstracted layers of geological strata. The quote reads:
“If you free yourself from the conventional reaction to a quantity like a million years, you free yourself a bit from the boundaries of human time. And then in a way you do not live at all, but in another way you live forever.” -John McPhee
