Quote reblogged from Pastiche & SerendipityYou cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

“[Maps] are our mains means of aligning ourselves with something bigger than us, and so may be thought of as semireligious in nature. The appearance of whimsy, of points labeled at random, is a cover for a rigidly determined order, and we place a faith in those distances that we hardly ever do in those of paintings, partly because we could follow the lines on the ground if we chose, unlike the models for paintings, which have since reshuffled themselves. Though maps give an essential grounding, for most of us they do this early in life and then are put away as childish along with our charts of animal and plant creation, as if having once learned what the world looks like, to remind oneself of it were a tedious penance like sleeping in one’s coffin.”
