Map Quotes
This little collection of map quotes should bring a smile to the face of the grumpiest cartographer. My favourite is,
"And then came the grandest idea of all! We actually made a map of the country, on the scale of a mile to the mile!"
"Have you used it much?" I enquired.
"It has never been spread out, yet," said Mein Herr: "the farmers objected: they said it would cover the whole country, and shut out the sunlight! So we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
-- Lewis Carroll, Sylvie and Bruno Concluded (1893).
