Quotes 

• Miss McCraw : This we do for pleasure, so that we may shortly be at the mercy of venomous snakes and poisonous ants. How foolish can human creatures be.

• Mlle. de Poitiers : Ah! Now I know.

  Miss McCraw : What do you know?

  Mlle. de Poitiers : I know that Miranda is a Botticelli angel.

• Miss McCraw : It stopped at twelve. It never stopped before. Must be something magnetic.

• Miss McCraw : The mountain comes to Muhammad, and Hanging Rock comes to Mr. Hussey.

• Miss McCraw : Only a million years ago. Quite a recent eruption really. The rocks all round - Mount Macedon itself - must be all of 350 million years old. Siliceous lava, forced up from deep down below. Soda trachytes extruded in a highly viscous state, building the steep sided mamelons we see in Hanging Rock. And quite young geologically speaking. Barely a million years.
