Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future
Michael Palin

Geography is destiny.
Abraham Verghese

Geography is about maps, but biography is about chaps.
Eric Bentley
Image
Geography is the key, the crucial accident of birth. A piece of protein could be a snail, a sea lion, or a systems analyst, but it had to start somewhere. This is not science it is merely metaphor. And the landscape in which the protein starts shapes its end as surely as bowls shape water.
Annie Dillard
Image
Geography is the study of earth as the home of people
Yi-Fu Tuan
Image
Geography has no bearing on it, nor have the interests of the community in which I work.
Yves Tanguy
Image
Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it.
Terry Pratchett
Image
Silence was the cure, if only temporarily, silence and geography. But of what was I being cured? I do not know, have never known. I only know the cure. Silence, and no connections except to landscape.
Mary Cantwell
Image
How is it that one day life is orderly and you are content, a little cynical perhaps but on the whole just so, and then without warning you find the solid floor is a trapdoor and you are now in another place whose geography is uncertain and whose customs are strange?
Jeanette Winterson
Image
Tribes will be defined by social enclaves on the internet, rather than by geography or kinship, but the world will be more fragmented and less tolerant, since ones real-world surroundings will not have the homogeneity of ones online clan.

Intelligence communities are very closed communities, but at the same time, you don't only learn how to fight terrorism. You need to learn about life, about West and East, geography, history, culture, there are many, many things that you learn in order to be able to solve puzzles.
Mosab Hassan Yousef

History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.
John Henrik Clarke
Image
Israel is a colonialist-imperialist phenomenon. There is no such thing as an Israeli people. Before 1948, world geography knew of no state such as Israel. Israel is the result of an invasion, of aggression.
Muammar al-Gaddafi
Image
The actual flower is the plant's highest fulfilment, and are not here exclusively for herbaria, county floras and plant geography: they are here first of all for delight.
John Ruskin

Oh I'm in love with the janitor's boy, And the janitor's boy loves me He's going to hunt for a desert isle In our geography.
Nathalia Crane
Image
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul we search for its outline all our lives.
Josephine Hart
Image
For whatever you're doing, for your creative juices, your geography's got a hell of a lot to do with it. You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.
Neil Young
Image
A bibliophile has approximately the same relationship to literature as a philatelist to geography.
Karl Kraus
Image
Paris is not a city, it is the image, the symbol of France, its today and yesterday, the reflection of its history, its geography and its hidden essence.
Nina Berberova
Image
To build a theory of international relations on accidents of geography and history is dangerous.
Kenneth Waltz
Image
My wound is geography. It is also my anchorage, my port of call.
Pat Conroy
Image
Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation, and it is perhaps the most pervasive. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace
Kofi Annan
Image
No choice we can make as a nation lies between our history and our geography. We can hardly change either of them. They are immutable. The only choice we can make as a nation is the choice about our future.
Paul Keating
Image
I enjoy working with images of maps, flags, and different cultures around the world. I've always liked geography and geopolitics and it's fun to be able to play with the world political order.
