A language is a map of our failures
Adrienne Rich

The words are purposes./The words are maps./I came to see the damage that was done/and the treasures that prevail.
Adrienne Rich
Image
If we think of our brains as a map, those early roads are like grooves, tram tracks, easy to fall into.
Philippa Perry
Image
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don't want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.

If you look at a group of people that had faith, it's got to be the Jews. They followed Moses through the desert for 40 years with no map. There had to be one guy in the back, like, 'I don't think he knows where he's going.'

Desire, both the whispers and the shouts, is the map we have been given to find the only life worth living.

I didn't know what I wanted to do when I was a child. I did want to be a cartographer but that was partly because I liked Ordnance Survey maps and when I used to go to my grandparents' house from Southampton Station one went past the headquarters of the Ordnance Survey.

. . . All artists’ work is autobiographical. Any writer’s work is a map of their psyche. You can really see what their concerns are, what their obsessions are, and what interests them.

I've always been fascinated with marine geography and how deep things are. I was spellbound by the tsunami, for example, by the actual maps. There is just something about the unseen bottom of the sea that has always fascinated me, how deep is it.
Joan Didion

I'd been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I'd been. I knew I'd been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn't remember what it was like - it was a massive blur.
Bryan Adams

I believe that culture begins in the cradle . . .To do without tales and stories and books is to lose humanity's past, is to have no star map for our future.

People are, in the confines of their own apartments, becoming Magellans of the interior world and reaching out to this alien thing and beginning to map it and bring back stories that can only be compared to the kind of stories that the chroniclers of the New World brought back to Spain at the close of the 15th century.

What avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?
Aldo Leopold

Do a good job on a good film and you're on the map. Do a great job on a bad movie and not very many people will think of you.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.
Stephen Hawking

But unlike European countries, America has never finished a map of the United States, only the eastern United States is covered and a few spots here and there.
William Labov

What is a house but a bigger skin, and a neighborhood map but the world's skin ever expanding?
Annie Dillard

It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.
Ali Khamenei

Whenever I try to map things out they inevitably change. Which doesn't mean I don't map them out — I just try to embrace the better ideas that come along as my fingers are flying around the keyboard mid-draft!
Ransom Riggs

It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.
David Levithan

I really believe in having projects which in fact can't be carried out, or which are so simple that anyone could work them out. I once made four spots on the map of Holland, without knowing where they were. Then I found out how to get there and went to the place and took a snapshot. Quite stupid. Anybody can do that.
Jan Dibbets
Image
The only people who get paid what they're worth are people who don't follow the instruction book, who create art, who are innovative, who work without a map.
Seth Godin
Image
Sometimes it is better to work out the map for yourself rather than have it given to you, in terms of learning.
Anson Jones

When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.
