I just think that it's very helpful to have a map of your psyche, because when you have a map, you know where to go.

There's just something hypnotic about maps.

We have always been taught that navigation is the result of civilization, but modern archeology has demonstrated very clearly that this is not so.

I have always loved maps.

The journey matters as much as the goal.

That the sea is one of the most beautiful and magnificent sights in Nature, all admit.

I propose to construct a new chart for navigating, on which I shall delineate all the sea and lands of the Ocean in their proper positions under their bearings; and further, I propose to prepare a book, and to put down all as it were in a picture, by latitude from the equator, and western longitude.

The best way to navigate through life is to give up all of our controls.

Our intention and aspiration is to continue building out thematic information about every subject - basemaps, imagery, demographics, landscape data, etc. - so anyone can use it to access thousands of authoritative maps.

There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.
