Antonios Athenaeus
“Maps and diagrams can reveal a battle’s truth more clearly than pages of words.”
Antonios Athenaeus

Terry Pratchett
“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 the often forgot to put the boring mountains and rivers in at all.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures
