I have always loved maps.

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.

I've always been fascinated and stared at maps for hours as a kid. I've especially been most intrigued by the uninhabited or lonelier places on the planet. Like Greenland, for instance, or just recently flying over Alaska and a chain of icy, mountainous islands, uninhabited.

If geography is prose, maps are iconography.

True navigation begins in the human heart. It's the most important map of all.

Even before you understand them, your brain is drawn to maps.

Two important characteristics of maps should be noticed. A map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness.

I think that is what film and art and music do; they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.

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.

I don't sit down and say I'm going to write a song about this or that. They are never mapped out.
