"A map does not converse in sentences. Its language is a half-heard murmur, fractured, fitful, nondiscursive, nonlinear. It is almost as if one had to read from a page where all the words had been assembled in random order: obviously there could be no fixed starting point or sequence of perception.." - Arthur H. Robinson and Barbara Bartz Petchenik (in The Nature of Maps) Via

The Benefits of Distraction and Overstimulation

"...The eye moves first to the simpler, larger shapes.
The overall pattern is best when it's irregular and varied.
Avoid predictable shapes--blocks, circles, rectangles.
Avoid equality, kissing shapes and homeostatic effects.
Patterns should move beyond the periphery of the work.
The focal area can be more active, with smaller, sharper shapes.
Viewers' eyes ask to be entertained--pattern is the opening act.
Patterns thrive in lights, darks, and plenty of middle tones.
Add mystery--shapes can be muzzy and obscure.
Yin and yang your pattern--alternate dark and light activity.
Squint at your work, invert it, or look at it in a mirror.
Your work should "read" from across the room." Via http://clicks.robertgenn.com/patterns.php

"You live in a world of illusions. A world that springs from a much deeper and far greater reality. And while at times the illusions are indeed ugly, with your physical senses you only see the tip of the iceberg. If you could see the whole, you'd discover that the unpleasantness was only the tiniest piece of a most spectacular puzzle that was created with order, intelligence, and absolute love. You'd see that contrary to appearances, in the grandest scheme of things, nothing is ever lost, no one becomes less, and setbacks are always temporary. And you'd understand that no matter what has happened, everyone lives again, everyone laughs again, and everyone loves again, even more richly than before." - The Universe

Interesting (dead?) project

(Lessons From the Swiss Cheese Map ) "Maps record facts, but whether by design or accident, they also project worldviews and function as arguments. Every map reflects a set of judgments that influence the viewer's impression of the underlying data. The choice of colors and labels, the cropping, and the process of selecting what gets included and what gets left out all combine to form a visual gestalt. A skilled designer can make peace seem inevitable or impossible, reassuring or terrifying, logical or jumbled." - Shari Motro Via

(Idea of paying it forward) "I do not pretend to give such a Sum; I only lend it to you. When you [...] meet with another honest Man in similar Distress, you must pay me by lending this Sum to him; enjoining him to discharge the Debt by a like operation, when he shall be able, and shall meet with another opportunity. I hope it may thus go thro' many hands, before it meets with a Knave that will stop its Progress. This is a trick of mine for doing a deal of good with a little money."
