Famous quotes containing the word geography:

    “Ktaadn, near which we were to pass the next day, is said to mean “Highest Land.” So much geography is there in their names.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
