I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen.

39
I want to put Sacramento back on the map.
40
2011 was a year in which events rarely turned out as predicted, and when much of the world seemed shrouded in turmoil and uncertainty. It was difficult for government analysts back in Washington to know just where they were on the map, let alone where they were heading.
41
If human civilization were to be destroyed and its cities wiped off the map, there would be an easy way for future intelligent life-forms to know when the mid-20th century began: plastic.

I put Compton on the map.
61

64
65
I’m a student of Comedy Central. It launched careers: Wanda Sykes and even Kevin Hart. The first time I was introduced to him, he was on Comedy Central. It puts you on the map… Hollywood knows now.

Everyone has a different interpretation of characters we know and love from Shakespeare, from ‘Miller‘. There’s specific things about them that are written that are kind of the fingerprints of the first person who played that role, and so I like to think of it as a road map.
80
Less than 1 percent of ancient Egypt has been discovered and excavated. With population pressures, urbanization, and modernization encroaching, we’re in a race against time. Why not use the most advanced tools we have to map, quantify, and protect our past?

I think that art, and making music or comedy, is a way of positing yourself on the map and then trying to find other people out there with you.
92
93
Growing up, everyone dreams of certain things, and they map out a direction that their life would take. Working with A. R. Rahman sir is one of my dreams, if not the biggest dream, realised.

95
Ideologies do not map the complete living processes of a World.
96
97
We have fans in high school, all the way up to grandmas and 40-year-old housewives. College frat guys. It’s all over the map.
98
‘Star Trek‘ put sci-fi on the map and changed television, and ‘Battlestar’ has changed it in another direction by making it a little more mainstream and acceptable to people who wouldn’t normally watch sci-fi.
99
I have an existential map. It has ‘You are here’ written all over it.
100

102
103
As of now, string theorists have no explanation of why there are three large dimensions as well as time, and the other dimensions are microscopic. Proposals about that have been all over the map.
104
People who are constantly looking for the opportunity to do something new are also people who are not going to be helped by having job titles – job titles create expectations of specialization and focus which don’t map really well to creating the best possible experience for your customers.
105

Most North Korean people have never seen a map of the world. They don’t even know that the Internet exists. They don’t even have electricity.

It might look like some incredibly complicated map to get from English period films to American action anti-heroes, but it really is just about not having a plan.
122
Acting is many things. Acting is playing lines, of course, but it’s much more profound than that. Acting is truth-telling and trying to find the truth in a human situation, which will be sketched out by a screenwriter with all the skill that a screenwriter can do; but in the end, that’s just the map of the journey.
123
I went to film school, trained as a director, have made a lot of movies, and taken a lot of photographs, so I tend to envision things spatially. As I’m working, I need to have a map of the space. I need to know what’s happening in all corners simultaneously.
124
So now my road map has changed and I don’t have a really clear idea of what the next stops are.
125
You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people‘s maps will be the same.
126
For me the much more significant question is what did the Americans do, if anything, to help the Croatian army, because they are the ones that changed fundamentally the map of Bosnia, not the Bosnian army.

When it comes to the periodic table, the United States really blew its chance to make a name for itself. If you look over a map of all the elements named for cities, states, countries, and continents, it’s not surprising that European locales dominate the map.

LTE has accelerated faster than most people had anticipated. It really took off very quickly from the time it was introduced. We did have our internal development road map, but we just needed to accelerate it.
137

I’m not here to joke around or waste time. I want to put my city and country on the map, and I won’t stop until I’m at the top.

145

146
At the very least, noir offers an alternate reality – moments of real passion, a bleak code of honor, and a need for freedom amid corruption. At its best, noir offers a map of subversion.
147
148
There is a pattern whereby even if you can’t map out the exact policies and issues that might be dangerous for you as an individual… we’ve seen this before. And you don’t have to join all the dots to see it ends badly. There shouldn’t be that kind of fear from any community in the UK about a future government.

You still can’t find Israel on a map of the Middle East in a Palestinian schoolbook.
152

154
155
156
But I really believe it is in America’s interest as well as that of the free world more generally to stop Iran from getting its hands on nuclear weapons. This regime has threatened to wipe Israel off the map and bring about a world without America, and either of those is a really bad prospect.

To map the Governor General’s Award is to map both the past and the future of Canadian literature, and to be nominated for my first book is wonderful.
160
I always wish I had a road map for how to navigate my life as a parent and a producer, but in truth, it’s a lot of trial and error.
161
I’m trying to put plus-size on the map. We can be fashion-forward.
162
With ‘Hannibal,’ it’s like reactive scoring so I don’t get ahead. I don’t read a script; I don’t want to know what’s going to happen until its happening in front of me and I’m able to have an instrument in my hands that I’m playing to make some kind of a map, some sort of tonal map, that I can then build on.
163
164
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I’ve certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you – and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
165
166
I’m interested in the ideas that sound a little crazy, such as radical life extension, curing cancer, being able to create a simulation of the human brain and map every neuron.
167
168
I come from a strong matriarchal line. I was raised by Gypsy, her sister, Mary, and my maternal grandmother. The result of not having my father live with us meant that, when it came to understanding the opposite sex, it was like working without a map.

Qualcomm is this big innovation house that tries to figure out how we can get as many people as possible using the cellular road map. The smartphone is just the first step along that journey.
176
After all, the past is our only real guide to the future, and historical analogies are instruments for distilling and organizing the past and converting it to a map by which we can navigate.
177

178
IT put India on the map of the world and told Indians that they are somebody in the world. There is something about technology that is very empowering: ‘We are designing software for the best companies in the world.’
179
180
I’ve always had ambition, and the acting was successful and put my name on the map, but it was never the plan to stop there.
181

182
I am happy that my son has been responsible for putting India on the world map in golf.
183

184

186
187
I respect and value the ideals of rugged individualism and self-reliance. But rugged individualism didn’t defeat the British, it didn’t get us to the moon, build our nation’s highways, or map the human genome. We did that together. This is the high call of patriotism.
188
189
By visualizing information, we turn it into a landscape that you can explore with your eyes: a sort of information map. And when you’re lost in information, an information map is kind of useful.
190
I think New York is a good place to write in general because it’s a grid. It’s organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.
191
192
193
I’d been round the world a hundred times and had started to forget where I’d been. I knew I’d been there: it said it on the tour map. I could remember the name of the city but I couldn’t remember what it was like – it was a massive blur.
194
195
196
197
I consciously did not want to put a sub-Mr. Bungle band on the map. I don’t think the world needs that.

You learn different things through fiction. Historians are always making a plot about how certain things came to happen. Whereas a novelist looks at tiny little things and builds up a sort of map, like a painting, so that you see the shapes of things.

203
My hair‘s been every color. My hair’s been all over the map.
204
205
Playful stimulation probably hits all kinds of synaptic possibilities. It is all make-believe and all over the map. The potentiality of the synapses and the potentiality of playfulness are a beautiful marriage.
206
The FHA literally drew up the redlining map and then basically distributed – I’m sorry, the Home Owners‘ Loan Corporation actually did it, and then distributed to banks who used that as policy to determine how they would lend and who they would lend to. The racism in the system was pervasive and total.
207
208
209
210
A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest.
211
Tag team wrestling is what put myself, Edge, the Hardys and the Dudleys all on the map. It made us into WWE superstars, and without that, I don’t think that my singles career would have gone to the places it went to.
212
213
214
I want Israel to have borders. For that, I need a map. I need a map on which our borders are specified.
215
216
We’re moving into an era when things are dematerialised and much more holographic. Floating above the physical world and the geographic map, there’s another landscape that’s constantly changing – something like a cloud – of communication, information, exchange and commerce.
217
Cognitive psychology has shown that the mind best understands facts when they are woven into a conceptual fabric, such as a narrative, mental map, or intuitive theory. Disconnected facts in the mind are like unlinked pages on the Web: They might as well not exist.
218
219
A place that doesn’t welcome tourists, that’s really difficult and off the map, is a place I want to see.
220
221
222
223
I’m from the south side of Nigeria, a place called Port Harcourt City… No one ever makes it out of there. I wanted to put it on the map.
224
225
I started my company with virtually no funds behind it – no big marketing budgets – and that worked in our favor with Millennials, who put us on the map. They can spot a paid endorsement a mile away and are completely turned off by it. Instead, they are heavily influenced by authentic experiences.
226
227
It’s not about being the biggest or the place with the most pins in a map. We want to be the most influential. We talk about trying to build the most influential agency in the world.
228
229
There’s no road map. There’s no textbook on how grief works and when your heart will be open – or if it ever will.
230
Once I’m in a situation where I can not do anything for three years and go off the map, I’ll focus more on writing. Right now, I want to just make Flume awesome… and big.
231
GPS devices are fantastic, but when travelling, especially in the middle of Africa, you must always bring a map as well.
232
It’s very clear to users, more clear than in other apps, that Foursquare is an app for search and discovery, and we’re very good at delivering you a social map that will show you friends’ faces on the map and things that you might like.
233
After we map out all the main characters’ individual arcs, using color-coded index cards, we arrange them by episode and get a rough idea of the scene order.
234
I compare a lot of life to looking at a map through a straw. The less ability you have to see life in a humorous way, the smaller the straw is that you’re looking at the map of life. You’re not looking at the whole picture. You can’t see the whole topography without it, and it can help you to make better choices.
235
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.
236
A map of Trump country would look a lot like a map of the various regions and counties from which young people with the best opportunities have consistently chosen to flee.
237
The signing of the Sex Pistols was a turning point for Virgin. It put the company on the map and, over the years, attracted bands such as Genesis, the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, and Janet Jackson. It also attracted Culture Club, who were ground-breaking.
238
Whenever I tell people in Berkeley, Calif., where I live, that I’m headed to the beach in Alabama, they are shocked. Most people outside of the Gulf Coast have no idea that Alabama has beaches – even though if you look at a map of Alabama, there is a part of it that looks as if it should belong to Florida.
239
Everybody is so anti-aging, but I don’t want to look younger than I am. Our face is a map of our life; the more that’s there, the better.
240
241
242
I think, in anyone‘s career, you have to map out some sort of strategy of steps that take you closer to the career you want.
243
244
245
I like debate and argument, so I’m usually all right with disagreement, and I’m even all right if the critic doesn’t come to a clear thumbs up or thumbs down. But I need the disagreement to have some kind of line I can follow on the map. I like following an interesting mind along it.
246
247
248
While San Diego is continuing to produce world-class businesses that are changing lives with breakthroughs like mapping the human genome, we should also use innovation and technology to map a better future for our children.
249
If we have a full-fledged film city here, it would save the directors from a lot of transportation costs and booking troubles. Further, it will boost Chandigarh’s economy by creating huge employment as also will bring Chandigarh on national and global map as a preferred filming and shooting destination.
250
In my third husband I had discovered a blissfully laid-back type who thought it nothing less than hilarious when I misread the map on the way to Wales, so it took us an extra three hours, or when I was sick in a plastic carrier bag during much of the drive back from Devon – a bag that turned out to have a hole in it.
251
252
When we engage people across ideological divides, asking questions helps us map the disconnect between our differing points of view.
