"A map has no vocabulary, no lexicon of precise meanings. It communicates in lines, hues, tones, coded symbols, and empty spaces, much like music. Nor does a map have its own voice. It is many-tongued, a chorus reciting centuries of accumulated knowledge in echoed chants. A map provides no answers. It only suggests where to look: discover this, reexamine that, put one thing in relation to another, orient yourself, begin here...Sometimes a map speaks in terms of physical geography, but just as often it muses on the jagged terrain of the heart, the distant vistas of memory, or the fantastic landscapes of dreams." from http://www.siliconyogi.com/mylibrary/doc/Library-999.htm#item0

“What I’m proposing to myself and to other people, is what I often call the tourist attitude—that you act as though you’ve never been there before. So that you’re not supposed to know anything about it. If you really get down to brass tacks, we have never been anywhere before.” – John Cage, 1992 (John Cage advocated paying attention to the world around us; that the purpose of art is “to sober and quiet the mind, so that it is in accord with what happens.” He is mainly known as a composer who affected the course of music in our time, but he also lectured, wrote commentary and poetry, and made prints, watercolors, and drawings. He died in 1992, but his work continues to affect people conscious of shaping their own lives.) http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1891300164/qid=1116624268/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-0936594-6492010?v=glance&s=books
