Famous quotes containing the words maps of, maps, italy, historical and/or development:

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

    “Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.”
    —Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    “the San Marco Library,
    Whence turbulent Italy should draw
    Delight in Art whose end is peace,
    In logic and in natural law
    By sucking at the dugs of Greece.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Historical! Must it be historical to catch your attention? Even though historicity, like notoriety, denotes nothing more than that something has occurred.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
