But looking at maps is much more than an act of aesthetic replacement. Anyone who opens an atlas wants everything at once, without limits--the whole world. This longing will always be great, far greater than any satisfaction to be had by attaining what is desired. Give me an atlas over a guidebook any day. There is no more poetic book in the world.","author":"Judith Schalansky","tags":["arm-chair-travel","atlas","maps","travel","travel-writing","wanderlust"],"id":54557,"author_id":"Judith+Schalansky"},{"text":"The faces of most American women over thirty are relief maps of petulant and bewildered unhappiness.","author":"F.

The map of the world ceases to be a blank; it becomes a picture full of the most varied and animated figures. Each part assumes its proper dimensions: continents are not looked at in the light of islands, or islands considered as mere specks, which are, in truth, larger than many kingdoms of Europe. Africa, or North and South America, are well-sounding names, and easily pronounced; but it is not until having sailed for weeks along small portions of their shores, that one is thoroughly convinced what vast spaces on our immense world these names imply.","author":"Charles Darwin","tags":["maps","travel","worldview"],"id":96952,"author_id":"Charles+Darwin"},{"text":"Regular maps have few surprises: their contour lines reveal where the Andes are, and are reasonably clear. More precious, though, are the unpublished maps we make ourselves, of our city, our place, our daily world, our life; those maps of our private world we use every day; here I was happy, in that place I left my coat behind after a party, that is where I met my love; I cried there once, I was heartsore; but felt better round the corner once I saw the hills of Fife across the Forth, things of that sort, our personal memories, that make the private tapestry of our lives.","author":"Alexander McCall Smith","tags":["life","maps","place"],"id":100307,"author_id":"Alexander+McCall+Smith"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":39,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
