Custom Maps

Famous quotes containing the words custom and/or maps:

    [A]s I am pretty well acquainted by great Opportunities with the Nature of Man, and know of a Truth, that all Men fight against their Will, the Danger vanishes, and Resolution rises upon this Subject. For this Reason I shall talk very freely on a Custom which all Men wish exploded, tho’ no Man has Courage enough to resist it.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    And now good morrow to our waking souls,
    Which watch not one another out of fear;
    For love all love of other sights controls,
    And makes one little room an everywhere.
    Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,
    Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown,
    Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
