Like many of the people quoted on this dust-cover, I have not read Carl King's book. I am confident, however, that my review still applies: So, You're a Creative Genius is the best book available on modern cartography.

I certainly look at the modern guys and think they are a different species to when we played. They are fitter and their conditioning is extraordinary.
Will Carling
Image
The conjunction of effort, concentration and balance in asana forces us to live intensely in the present moment, a rare experience in modern life.
B.K.S. Iyengar

Midas, they say, possessed the art of old Of turning whatsoe'er he touch'd to gold This modern statesmen can reverse with ease - Touch them with gold, they'll turn to what you please.
John Wolcot

There's no way I'm going to stand up for bad ingredients. We love seasonal ingredients. It's a false dichotomy to say that modern cooking is at odds with that, but some people want to have a great ingredient and no technique.
Nathan Myhrvold

I disagree with the idea that modern dancers are cold or unemotional.
Lucinda Childs
Image
Whereas most other modern composers are engaged in manufacturing cocktails of every hue and description, I offer the public cold spring water.
Jean Sibelius
Image
There was nothing medieval people liked better, or did better, than sorting out and tidying up. Of all our modern inventions I suspect that they would most have admired the card index.
C. S. Lewis

Adjustment, that synonym for conformity that comes more easily to the modern tongue, is the theme of our swan song, the piper's tune to which we dance on the brink of the abyss, the siren's melody that destroys our senses and paralyzes our wills.
Robert M. Lindner

The difference between me and many young people is, I don't carry music with me. I like to think. I don't use any modern convenience to be talking to other people, because I like my time to think. I go to the garden in the morning, and this time, I'm thinking ideas, I'm not drawing, I'm thinking.
Sergio Aragones

The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
Arsene Wenger
Image
There is part of me that longs to have the back-to-the-earth life - make my own bread, grow my own wheat, just be really self-sufficient - but I am not, at the moment, willing to give up the luxury of modern life, and amazing schools for my kids, and things that I've come to rely on that are parts of society.

All political parties, organizations, and all people should abide by the constitution and laws without any exception. They must all act in accordance with the constitution and laws. I see that as a defining feature of modern political system development.
Wen Jiabao

E-mails are the cancer of modern business.
John Caudwell

We have a thriving subculture of 'independent' American movies that makes an impact on America as a whole roughly equivalent to that of a the modern literary novel. These are the films sincere viewers marry, whereas, once upon a time, movies were a lifetime of one night stands.
Edward Jay Epstein
Image
For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect, and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.
Katy Perry

You are always looking for already-felt emotions, just as you like to get an old pair of trousers back from the cleaners, which seem new when you don't look too closely. Artists are cleaners, don't let yourself be taken in by them. True modern works of art are made not by artists but quite simply by men.
Francis Picabia
Image
In ceasing to subordinate creative power to any supreme value, modern art has brought home to us the presence of that creative power throughout the whole history of art.
Andre Malraux
Image
The huge problem in our society is the enormous ignorance of the ideas that underlie modern art.
Thom Mayne

The Church cannot be content to live in its stained-glass house and throw stones through the picture window of modern culture.
Robert McAfee Brown

You can't shame or humiliate modern celebrities. What used to be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
Both Zen and mysticsm have this beautiful quality of happiness and laughter, which I think is so necessary in our modern age.
Frederick Lenz

The tendency of modern scientific teaching is to neglect the great books, to lay far too much stress upon relatively unimportant modern work, and to present masses of detail of doubtful truth and questionable weight in such a way as to obscure principles.
