The chalk is no unimportant element in the masonry of the earth’s crust, and it impresses a peculiar stamp, varying with the conditions to which it is exposed, on the scenery of the districts in which it occurs.
Thomas Henry Huxley

You must love the crust of the earth on which you dwell more than the sweet crust of any bread or cake; you must be able to extract nutriment out of a sand heap.
Henry David Thoreau
The life of a godly man is like a river, not like a stagnant pool or a dead sea. It is ever in motion, sometimes sparkling in the sunbeam, and sometimes shivering in the clouds; sometimes chanting through scenery as beautiful as Eden, and sometimes moaning through districts of miserable desolation; sometimes clear as the day, and sometimes black as the night. Still it is ever moving to its ocean destiny — progress is its law, infinitude is its home.
Thomas David
Get the chalk! Get the f**king chalk! Put me on the board! Put me on the Cadillac board! Williamson! Pick up the f**king chalk! Hey, Rick I closed em! I closed the cocksucker!
David Mamet
Time's corrosive dewdrop eats
The giant warrior to a crust
Of earth in earth and rust in rust.Francis Turner Palgrave
It has never occurred to me before, but this is truly how it is: all of us on earth walk constantly over a seething, scarlet sea of flame, hidden below, in the belly of the earth. We never think of it. But what if the thin crust under our feet should turn into glass and we should suddenly see..
I became glass. I saw- within myself. [D-503]Yevgeny Zamyatin
