One of few comments I've made on other blogs

"Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them." - John Updike
"Here is your map. Unfold it, follow it, then throw it away, if you will. It is only paper. It is only paper and ink, but if you think a little, if you pause a moment, you will see that these two things have seldom joined to make a document so modest and yet so full with histories of hope or sagas of conquest." - Beryl Markham, West of the Night (1942)
"Your chosen perspective changes everything." - TU
"The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher." - Thomas Huxley
"Do not fear mistakes. There are none - it just depends on what you make of the next note." - Miles Davis

"'Have fun!" ... is my greatest wish for you in all you do." - The Universe
"I brooded by the hour together over the map, all the details of which I well remembered. Sitting by the fire in the housekeeper's room, I approached that island, in my fancy, from every possible direction; I explored every acre of its surface; I climbed a thousand times to that tall hill they call the Spyglass, and from the top enjoyed the most wonderful and changing prospects. Sometimes the isle was thick with savages, with whom we fought; sometimes full of dangerous animals that hunted us; but in my fancies nothing occurred to me so strange and tragic as our actual adventures." - Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island
"Only the heart knows how to find what is precious." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

It tells the truth by lying, like a poem with bold hyperbole of shape and line-- A masterpiece of false simplicity. Its secret meanings must be mulled upon,
Yet all the world is open to a glance. With colors to fire the mind, a song of names, A painting that is not at home on walls But crumpled on a stations wagon floor, Worn through at folds, tape patched and chocolate smudged (What other work of art can lead you home?) --A map was made to use. - Juliana Muehrcke

London Map Fair : (beware of maps contrived to lead you astray) 'A great map is much more than a navigation tool. Actually, a great map is rarely a navigation tool.

"A great discovery solves a great problem, but there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem.
