    “The faces of most American women over thirty are relief maps of petulant and bewildered unhappiness.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “And at least you know

    That maps are of time, not place, so far as the army
    Happens to be concerned—the reason being,
    Is one which need not delay us.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed—they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!”
    —Orson Welles (1915–84)

    “It is hard to believe that England is so near as from your letters it appears; and that this identical piece of paper has lately come all the way from there hither, begrimed with the English dust which made you hesitate to use it; from England, which is only historical fairyland to me, to America, which I have put my spade into, and about which there is no doubt.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I could not undertake to form a nucleus of an institution for the development of infant minds, where none already existed. It would be too cruel.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
