"Before this it was thought that the sea had no end or limit, that at its other end was darkness. Now they have seen that this sea is girded by a coast, because it is like a lake, they have called it Ovo Sano." - From the text on the mysterious Piri Re'is Map (http://www.sacred-texts.com/piri/pirikey.htm )

"Neither the historian nor the cartographer can ever reproduce the reality they are trying to communicate to the reader of books or maps; they can but give a plan, a series of indications, of this reality. There are contrasting schemes for choosing from enormous numbers of geographic details. You may have a map in which every feature that can be named, every hill, brook, crossroads, is crowded in; or you may have a map in which many details are omitted in the effort to show the reader the lay of the land, the shape of the mountain systems, the relations of drainage, relief, communications, and so on. Both kinds are useful, depending on the needs of the user." - Crane Brinton

"Innovators are those people who can zoom out to see a broader view of the world and see new ideas registering on their Innovation Radar Screens before others even know they exist. They stay aware of what is happening behind, in front of and beside them, knowing that insights can come from any source. Their research antennae are at full mast, looking for signs in the global world of what may be useful in the future." - Elaine Dundon, from 'The Seeds of Innovation'
