History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a cl — Map

"In generalizing lies the difficulty of scientific map-making, for it no longer allows the cartographer to rely merely on objective facts but requires him to interpret them subjectively. To be sure the selection of the subject matter is controlled by considerations regarding its suitability and value, but the manner in which this material is to be rendered graphically depends on personal and subjective feeling. But the latter must not predominate: the dictates of science will prevent any erratic flight of the imagination and impart to the map a fundamentally objective character in spite of all subjective impulses. It is in this respect that maps are distinguished from fine products of art. Generalized maps and, in fact, all abstract maps should, therefore, be products of art clarified by science."

"The map is not the territory, and the name is not the thing named."

"“It does not appear to be too difficult,” Alain agreed. “But I remember being cautioned that maps carry their own illusions, often making appear simple a journey which is actually far more difficult in practice.”"

"A face is a road map of someones life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, theres a great deal thats communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been."

"There are few results of man‟s activities that so closely parallel mans interests and intellectual capabilities as the map."
