"because it allows me to express my artistic abilities" ... maxwell parker davis [upon being asked why he draws maps]
"map-making had never been a precise art on the discworld. people tended to start off with good intentions and then get so carried away with the spouting whales, monsters, waves and other twiddly bits of cartographic furniture that they often forgot to put the boring mountains and rivers in at all" ... terry pratchett
"there is a map in my room on the wall of my room and i’ve got big, big plans but i can see them slipping through almost feel them slipping through the palms of my sweaty hands" ... brian sella
"map is not territory" ... jonathan z. smith
"you can't map a sense of humor. anyway, what is a fantasy map but a space beyond which 'there be dragons?'" ... terry pratchett
"there's no room on my wall for the map of my thoughts and i got no idea what i'm gonna do ... next but i can feel sweat seeping through the shirt on my back and it ain't from the cigars after ... sex" ... al janik [upon being asked why he posts masterpieces]
