Maps Quotes

Somewhere in the midst of smudgy maps, following waters, surviving the storms, and deep, deep digging.. treasure is found Picture Quote #1

Maps are essential. Planning a journey without a map is like building a house without drawings Picture Quote #1

Every important social movement reconfigures the world in the imagination. What was obscure comes forward, lies are revealed, memory shaken, new delineations drawn over the old maps: it is from this new way of seeing the present that hope emerges for the future... Let us begin to imagine the worlds we would like to inhabit, the long lives we will share, and the many futures in our hands Picture Quote #1

Computer science is to biology what calculus is to physics. It’s the natural mathematical technique that best maps the character of the subject Picture Quote #1

The world of maps is nice and flat and simple. It has areas for people and areas for monsters. What a shock it is to discover the world is round and the areas merge and nothing separates the monsters and ourselves; that we are all whirling around in space together and there isn’t even a graceful way of falling off Picture Quote #1

There must be something innate about maps, about this one specific way of picturing our world and our relation to it, that charms us, calls to us, won’t let us look anywhere else in the room if there’s a map on the wall Picture Quote #1

The world is poor because her fortune is buried in the sky and all her treasure maps are of the earth Picture Quote #1

Human language has a vocabulary suited to our daily needs and functions: the shape of any human language maps approximately to the needs and activities of our mundane lives. But few would deny that there is another dimension of human existence which transcends the mundane: call it the soul, the spirit: it is that part of the human frame which sees the shimmer of the numinous Picture Quote #1

It’s stupid. There are maps to show you how to get to the place where you want to be but no maps that show you how to get to the time when you want to be Picture Quote #1

He knew by heart every last minute crack on its surface. He had made maps of the ceiling and gone exploring on them; rivers, islands, and continents. He had made guessing games of it and discovered hidden objects; faces, birds, and fishes. He made mathematical calculations of it and rediscovered his childhood; theorems, angles, and triangles. There was practically nothing else he could do but look at it. He hated the sight of it Picture Quote #1

I always think I know the way a novel will go. I write maps on oversized art pads like the kind I carried around in college when I was earnest about drawing. I need to have some idea of the shape of the novel, where its headed, so that I can proceed with confidence. But the truth is my characters start doing and saying things I don’t expect Picture Quote #1

The point of asking questions is to find true answers; the point of measuring is to measure accurately; the point of making maps is to find your way to your destination... In short, the goal of truth goes without saying, in every human culture Picture Quote #1

Throughout history, fairly arbitrary lines drawn on maps have determined who prospers and who needs, who eats and who starves, who attacks and who is attacked, who lives long and who dies young. Oh, we have been slaves to those lines for so long Picture Quote #1

A map is the dead body of where you’ve been. A map is the unborn baby of where you’re going. There are no maps. Maps are pictures of what isn’t Picture Quote #1

I started to write a series of fantasy novels when I was eleven. I have never taken anything artistic as seriously; since then, writing has felt like an attempt to get back there, to my bedroom, my maps, those races and languages and runes Picture Quote #1

Poetry is a way for me to explore a tingly feeling, to let it play itself out, and also to map it. I feel like I’m making little star maps when I write poems Picture Quote #1

There are no maps to guide our most important searches; we must rely on hope, chance, intuition, and a willingness to be surprised Picture Quote #1

Foursquare makes maps special. We take maps that are blank and put dots on them to help you figure out what to do Picture Quote #1

Many of us who walk to and fro upon our usual tasks are prisoners drawing mental maps of escape Picture Quote #1

The globe has been circumnavigated, but no man ever yet has; you may survey a kingdom and note the result in maps, but all the savants in the world could not produce a reliable map of the poorest human personality Picture Quote #1

Professors could silence me then; they had figures, diagrams, maps, books... I was learning that books and diagrams can be evil things if they deaden the mind of man and make him blind or cynical before subjection of any kind Picture Quote #1

I know people who are so immersed in road maps that they never see the countryside they pass through, and others who, having traced a route, are held to it as though held by flanged wheels to rails Picture Quote #1

No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don’t Picture Quote #1

Men read maps better than women because only men can understand the concept of an inch equaling a hundred miles Picture Quote #1

The virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein Picture Quote #1

What is it about maps? I could look at them all day, earnestly studying the names of towns and villages I have never heard of and will never visit Picture Quote #1

I have studied humans for a small eternity. Intent infuses their every movement. Road maps to their inner navigation, plastered all over their skin. Born to be slaves Picture Quote #1

Our children long for realistic maps of the future that they can be proud of. Where are the cartographers of human purpose? Picture Quote #1

Please stop waiting for a map. We reward those who draw maps, not those who follow them Picture Quote #1

Crimson flames tied through my ears rolling high and mighty traps, pounced with fire on flaming roads using ideas as my maps Picture Quote #1
