Landmarks Quotes

“With increasing distance, our knowledge fades, and fades rapidly. Eventually, we reach the dim boundary—the utmost limits of our telescopes. There, we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. Not until the empirical resources are exhausted, need we pass on to the dreamy realms of speculation.”
― Edwin Powell Hubble, The Realm of the Nebulae

“Old maps make sense to me. With their strange collections of obscure landmarks. It's how we all got around when young. An hour to Gainesville. Turn off where they have the livestock fair. Then past an airport owned by my stepdad's family. A Rotunda. Tiny Horses. Dani's house. Jonesville didn't have much back then. Rosie's Bar and a Lil' Champ. Still when we saw the sign we knew we were close. "HAY!" Screamed by a face on the side of a store. We'd all yell it as we passed. For good luck. Later that sign was stolen. This created suspicions. Some asked if we had taken it. No. But we should have.”

“Sebbene lo Stato si ostini a dare un nome alle strade, la gente stabilisce i propri punti di riferimento in maniera del tutto autonoma. Una chiesa, una casa abbandonata, un parco, un edificio pubblico, uno stadio, un cimitero: qualunque cosa può andare bene. Ognuno insomma finisce per inventarsi una sua personale mappa urbana.”
― Dany Laferrière, Tutto si muove intorno a me

“Keep to the ancient Landmarks (Success Paths), it's a faith Booster for your Series of Victories.”
