The strongest signals leaking off our planet are radar transmissions, not television or radio. The most powerful radars, such as the one mounted on the Arecibo telescope (used to study the ionosphere and map asteroids) could be detected with a similarly sized antenna at a distance of nearly 1,000 light-years.
2
I really love going places without a map.

5

6

7
Here’s what I know about political campaigns: no matter what you map out at the beginning, it’s always different at the end.
8

11

16

17
From the initial design stages of ‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice,’ we had the idea of the player being able to move dynamically through a detailed, multi-layered map. We found that a ‘shinobi’ type character was the key to achieving this in a way that was both realistic and cool.
18
Two important characteristics of maps should be noticed. A map is not the territory it represents, but, if correct, it has a similar structure to the territory, which accounts for its usefulness.

25
I was born in a territory called Biran, in the eastern region of Cuba. It’s known by that name, although it has never appeared on a map.
26
I am happy that my son has been responsible for putting India on the world map in golf.
27
I think a good story can do as much as a novel; not the exact same thing, of course, but just as much artistically. They’re different beasts, but to tackle an expansive country like the United States, you’re either going to write a big novel, or go in to various points on the map and write stories or poems.
28
While San Diego is continuing to produce world-class businesses that are changing lives with breakthroughs like mapping the human genome, we should also use innovation and technology to map a better future for our children.

32
But one thing that’s constant is we’ve always appreciated fans. They put us on the map and they keep us on the map. I always put myself in their position. If I loved someone and had their posters all over my wall and met them and they were rude it would be very hurtful.
33
I’m trying to put plus-size on the map. We can be fashion-forward.
34
So, we just kind of created our own thing and that’s part of the beauty of Athens: is that it’s so off the map and there’s no way you could ever be the East Village or an L.A. scene or a San Francisco scene, that it just became its own thing.
35
I think every entrepreneur in Canada owes the next generation a road map of how to do it again.
36
‘The Names’ is planned as a nine-part series. I have a kind of road map: I know the final scene of episode nine. But as to exactly how we get there, what detours or horrible accidents we might have to pass through, I like to keep that a little fluid.
37
I do a lot of crazy stuff. People that have watched me know my grappling game is of the regular map that you’d see in a jiu-jitsu class.
38
‘Cosmogramma’ is basically the studies that map out the universe and the relations of heaven and hell.
39
His track record of pragmatism, depth and candor all speak to a person who would find the Tea Party simplistic, opportunistic and misguided. Reagan was surrounded by some very smart people who gave him very sound advice. They were not wondering where certain countries are on the map.
40
For me, it started as a child with one of those little wooden jigsaw maps of the U.S., where’s there’s crocodiles on Florida and apples on Washington state. That was my very first map.

44
The Olympics have been an amazing part of Los Angeles’ history. In many ways in 1932, they put us on the map when people didn’t even know where Los Angeles was. In 1984, they were the first profitable Olympics of the modern era.
45
The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain.
46

50

51
I’m so proud to help put women’s darts on the map.
52
I freestyle, but I’d rather sit down and write down my music to map out what I’m doing. But if I’m out with my friends, I will freestyle, you know?

58
I have come from a background where I haven’t had lots of money to put me on the map. I’ve had to work very hard for what I’ve got.

63
I used to take formal notes in lines of blue, and underline the key words in red, and I realised I needed only the key words and the idea.

64

73
I think it puts baseball back on the map as a sport. It’s America’s pastime and just look at everyone coming out to the ballpark. It has been an exciting year.

75
In my third husband I had discovered a blissfully laid-back type who thought it nothing less than hilarious when I misread the map on the way to Wales, so it took us an extra three hours, or when I was sick in a plastic carrier bag during much of the drive back from Devon – a bag that turned out to have a hole in it.
76
I’m just the smallest dot in a big map of human history.

78
People who are constantly looking for the opportunity to do something new are also people who are not going to be helped by having job titles – job titles create expectations of specialization and focus which don’t map really well to creating the best possible experience for your customers.

86
3D printers give us what we’ve all been craving: another reason to talk to technical support. When you finally get the thing working, though, you’ll be able to print out your grocery list as a cube! When you look up directions online, you can print the map out on a globe!
87
I think New York is a good place to write in general because it’s a grid. It’s organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.
88
Like a tracer running through the veins of the city, networks of air quality sensors attached to bikes can help measure an individual’s exposure to pollution and draw a dynamic map of the urban air on a human scale, as in the case of the Copenhagen Wheel developed by new startup Superpedestrian.
89
Even a child, if he looks at a map of the world, can point out that the Indonesian archipelago forms one unity.

I want to put Sacramento back on the map.
94
Whenever I tell people in Berkeley, Calif., where I live, that I’m headed to the beach in Alabama, they are shocked.

95
The grappling hook allows for versatile and dynamic movement through the map, while a variety of shinobi-esque tools allow for all sorts of tricks and finesse. These are very important elements of ‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice”s gameplay and the protagonist’s nature.

99
My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature’s way of tattooing. It’s natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed.
100
More and more, our clients expect not only relevant advice, not only setting a road map or helping them plan, but being committed to business results.

102

104
If we have a full-fledged film city here, it would save the directors from a lot of transportation costs and booking troubles. Further, it will boost Chandigarh’s economy by creating huge employment as also will bring Chandigarh on national and global map as a preferred filming and shooting destination.
105
Young people really want you to give them a road map, and they will follow it to a tee. If you tell them, ‘These are the eight steps you have to take to be successful,’ they will do all eight very earnestly.
106

107
I never really thought about what kind of career I wanted to map out for myself. I just wanted to do work that spoke to my heart. ‘Atlanta’ definitely did that.

109
Ideologies do not map the complete living processes of a World.
110
We think of writing a book as a process, but the very word – process – suggests that there is one: a template to follow, a map to guide us. If that were true, someone would have surely figured out some marketable method we could all buy.
111
To the game code, the world is still just a tile map, but for rendering, each map was exported as a general-purpose 3D model, and the artists could then go through it and spend the polygons any way they liked, without the limits of line-of-constant-z software rasterization that we lived with on the mobile phones.
112
Younger hackers are hard to classify. They’re probably just as diverse as the old hackers are. We’re all over the map.
113
President Obama could keep a big map with push pins on it to keep track of how many countries hate us, and when we get down to only half, let’s have a ball. I’ll blow up the balloons myself.
114
With ‘Hannibal,’ it’s like reactive scoring so I don’t get ahead. I don’t read a script; I don’t want to know what’s going to happen until its happening in front of me and I’m able to have an instrument in my hands that I’m playing to make some kind of a map, some sort of tonal map, that I can then build on.
115
History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.
116
Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a ‘map’ for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project.
117
I work hard to get the body right, and then I kind of just go off the map when on vacation.
118
I can’t say New York’s home, but I’ve made a lot of friends, and I’m developing a map of what cats are here and where they play, and as a singer, you’re always looking for projects that tie things in emotionally and intuitively with your life.
119
I think that is what film and art and music do; they can work as a map of sorts for your feelings.
120

121
Look at a map of the world: the countries which do not trade much, or which trade only in oil and gas, tend to be in regions which suffer the most social and political instability.
122
In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq was seeing a really big, big reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was somewhat under control.

124
IT put India on the map of the world and told Indians that they are somebody in the world. There is something about technology that is very empowering: ‘We are designing software for the best companies in the world.’
125
The fact that a wrestling program called ‘Raw’ could be the longest running television show in the history of television, bar nobody – nobody can now say we’re not on the map.
126
Fifty million Americans have dementia and other brain illnesses.

127
All religions, all indigenous traditions, all origin stories provide a large map of where you are.

132
As an actor, I’ve been all over the map, but since I’ve moved to Hollywood, people tend to cast me in these more imposing characters, which is actually really fun for me. I’ve always been way more attracted to playing that than the hero.
133
With the mission to Mars, the whole world wants to get involved. So we actually have 13 different space agencies from around the world working on the global exploration road map.
134

135
I used to tell people if they looked at a map, it was right in the middle of the United States. But now everybody knows Oklahoma because of the Thunder and their success. I don’t know if I’ll get ‘Why?’ anymore.
136
Playful stimulation probably hits all kinds of synaptic possibilities. It is all make-believe and all over the map. The potentiality of the synapses and the potentiality of playfulness are a beautiful marriage.

139
When a number of crimes – for instance, burglaries – can be linked to the same offender, police often plot the locations on a map. The art of finding the location of the criminal’s home based on the crime sites is a key objective in what is known as geographical profiling.
140
The signing of the Sex Pistols was a turning point for Virgin. It put the company on the map and, over the years, attracted bands such as Genesis, the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, and Janet Jackson. It also attracted Culture Club, who were ground-breaking.
141
I come from a strong matriarchal line. I was raised by Gypsy, her sister, Mary, and my maternal grandmother. The result of not having my father live with us meant that, when it came to understanding the opposite sex, it was like working without a map.
142
The Internet’s a crazy place to hang out because it’s insane to see so many people doing so many creative things all over the map.
143

145

146

147
To ensure food security for all, we should be clear about the definition of the problem, the precise index of measuring impact and the road map to achieve the goal.
148

149
I always wish I had a road map for how to navigate my life as a parent and a producer, but in truth, it’s a lot of trial and error.
150
Memphis is a basketball town, but we’re not viewed that way on the national map. Maybe it’s because the Grizzlies aren’t on TV as much.
151

152
While President Putin is busy redrawing the map of Europe, President Obama is busy filling out his brackets.
153

154
For whole swaths of people, that map of, ‘Come along this way, come to college, do this and that,’ isn’t offered.
155
On any state elections map, the reservations are blue places. Native people are most often progressives, Democrats, and by no means gun-toting vigilantes.
156
GPS devices are fantastic, but when travelling, especially in the middle of Africa, you must always bring a map as well.
157
I’m a big believer in puking out all your thoughts in a single sitting and getting some version of the work down, because the alternative just prolongs the agony. The first draft is hideous and ajskdlkdfksjdfslfjk, but it’s just a map for where the big blocks go.
158
When I was applying to college, my mother told me I could apply to any school within the Boston subway map.
159
In many cases, contemporary materialisms map uncannily well onto Pre-Socratic ideas such that instead of Anaximander, we have the physicist David Bohm and his idea of an underlying ‘implicate order’ that transcends time and space.
160
I’m a student of Comedy Central. It launched careers: Wanda Sykes and even Kevin Hart. The first time I was introduced to him, he was on Comedy Central. It puts you on the map… Hollywood knows now.
161
Acting is many things. Acting is playing lines, of course, but it’s much more profound than that. Acting is truth-telling and trying to find the truth in a human situation, which will be sketched out by a screenwriter with all the skill that a screenwriter can do; but in the end, that’s just the map of the journey.
162
I’m very fond of an old map of London that used to belong to my father. I’m a big London fan, and the evolution of the city is astonishing, when you look back to Pepys and how small it was – everyone knew each other.
163
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don’t want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.

169
A place that doesn’t welcome tourists, that’s really difficult and off the map, is a place I want to see.
170
Being involved in ‘The Hobbit’ has been a huge boost for me. It’s really put me on the map and helped me be taken more seriously as an actor.
171
If you look at the map, there’s Thrace, Greece, Bulgaria, and there’s tiny Gallipoli. It is such a small part of the whole peninsula, and yet you only hear about this little tiny bit.
172
Just like the athlete who has mapped out a plan to become one of the best athletes in the world by putting together a training program and executing it, he too should map out a financial plan from the beginning of his athletic career throughout every stage of his career.
173
A map of Trump country would look a lot like a map of the various regions and counties from which young people with the best opportunities have consistently chosen to flee.
174
Through studies of music and the brain, we’ve learned to map out specific areas involved in emotion, timing, and perception – and production of sequences. They’ve told us how the brain deals with patterns and how it completes them when there’s misinformation.
175
I think a lot of people are getting more serious about how to do the most good, but there is no road map. I’m hoping I can offer an example.
176
When the Beatles came to America and took me off the map, I thought I would return the favor, and I moved the family to England!
177
Seems like everybody has seen ‘Cooley High.’ That’s what put me on the map. Garrett Morris and I go way back, even before the movie. Great guy. We’ve done theater and stage plays together, Lincoln Center and all kinds of things.
178
‘Harat’ is actually – it’s a Lebanese dialect word. It comes from ‘the mapmaker,’ somebody who makes a map. And it basically means somebody who tells fibs or exaggerate tales a little bit.
179
Remember, taboos are just a map of what a society feels it’s acceptable to be neurotic about. Taboos aren’t rational.
180
We’ve been very lucky with the ‘Being the Elite’ crew that everyone is very passionate about pro wrestling. There’s no crooks in the group. Everyone’s ideas are valued. And everyone who has something they pick and put on the map, they are fully going to commit to that.
181
Our country vanished from the map of Europe after the attack of the Soviet Union against Poland. That is our history. It is a very difficult one.
182
Satellite imagery is the only way we can map the looting patterns effectively.
183
The bedrock nature of space and time and the unification of cosmos and quantum are surely among science’s great ‘open frontiers.’ These are parts of the intellectual map where we’re still groping for the truth – where, in the fashion of ancient cartographers, we must still inscribe ‘here be dragons.’
184
In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.
185
Part of my responsibility as an officer was to oversee a team of analysts charged with synthesizing all of the data points on the map to see how one related to another. By bringing those data points together, a broader picture could be drawn and a strategy developed to counter the existing threat.
186
I don’t believe that the world is that crazy that they have nothing to better to do with their time than send me emails and tell me these outlandish stories. So I’ve started to plot the communities that have come to me on a map.
187
‘Satellite archaeology’ refers to the use of NASA and commercial high resolution satellite datasets to map and discover past structures, cities, and geological features.
188
Trying to decipher where President Obama really stands on free trade can be like trying to trace the U.S.-Mexico border with a Google map. There are words, and there are actions – but there is mostly that long squiggly line in between.
189
I literally can’t get anywhere now without the map on my phone. I used to use an A-Z when I first came to London, and now I really struggle because there’s no dot to show where I am. And I think that part of my brain doesn’t work any more.
190
I think if you were to look at my resume in total you would see a lot of things that are kind of all over the map.
191
A lot of my friends have tattoos; I realized that it’s not only just a part of pop culture, but a bit of a map on someone’s body, which says something about people. A part of their life, like an armor or a crest.
192
I’m doing a Dylan Thomas film, Map of Love, with Mick Jagger producing again. It’s a wonderful script.
193
Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change.
194
I compare a lot of life to looking at a map through a straw. The less ability you have to see life in a humorous way, the smaller the straw is that you’re looking at the map of life. You’re not looking at the whole picture. You can’t see the whole topography without it, and it can help you to make better choices.
195
The pulsar map is not dangerous at all. It will likely never even be seen by extraterrestrials.
196
My earliest memory is nursing and struggling to see the colored lights making up the map of the world, the famous backdrop for Larry King’s TV show. There’s an ‘I-want-to-do-all-things-at-once’ kind of theme to it.
197
The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you’ve ever seen a space IMAX movie, that’s really what it looks like. I wish I’d had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time.
198
My idea is to make moves to bring chess back to the world’s map, to make it part of the world’s geography again.
199
If you go back in time and look at a map of all of the television markets where wrestling was most popular, historically, the deepest concentrations of those markets were in the northeast.
200
Cognitive psychology has shown that the mind best understands facts when they are woven into a conceptual fabric, such as a narrative, mental map, or intuitive theory. Disconnected facts in the mind are like unlinked pages on the Web: They might as well not exist.
201
I put Compton on the map.
202
With population pressures, urbanization, and modernization encroaching, we’re in a race against time. Why not use the most advanced tools we have to map, quantify, and protect our past?
203
If Europe does not advance, it will fall or even be wiped out from the world map… My duty is to bring Europe out of its lethargy.
204
When I was at MIT, they had a beta test of Mosaic, the first popular browser. I remember looking at it, and there was a weather map or something. Now, in fairness to me, there weren’t any websites then. But I remember saying, ‘This is stupid – what’s the point?’ Now, of course, it’s obvious.
205
When it comes to the periodic table, the United States really blew its chance to make a name for itself. If you look over a map of all the elements named for cities, states, countries, and continents, it’s not surprising that European locales dominate the map.
206
The first thing to recognize not just about Afghanistan but about any poor undeveloped country is that as big as it looks on the map, it’s much bigger when you’re there.
207
If we looked in the world of 1945 and looked at the map of capitalist economies and democratic polities, they were the rare exception, not the norm.
208
‘Fix’ was a song that definitely put me on the map and changed everything for in me my career. I’m really thankful for it.
209
I didn’t want to take the guitar solos down note-for-note, but more or less use them as a map, and keep all the hooks from the guitar playing, and let myself come through.
210
Most North Korean people have never seen a map of the world. They don’t even know that the Internet exists. They don’t even have electricity.
211
Religion is like a map. The route isn’t important. It’s the destination that matters.
212
I respect and value the ideals of rugged individualism and self-reliance. But rugged individualism didn’t defeat the British, it didn’t get us to the moon, build our nation’s highways, or map the human genome. We did that together. This is the high call of patriotism.
213
Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
214
I’m in no hurry to get anywhere. I don’t have any plans. I don’t have a map. If you did in this business, you’d destroy yourself.
215
The girls are working so hard to put female wrestling on the map and to make it as big as the men. To see it actually happening… I’m so grateful.
216

217
There’s no map to human behaviour.
218
You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people’s maps will be the same.
219
I don’t think ‘Motherhood’ is a map for women. I would never say that it’s a template for every woman in response to her biology.
220
Whenever I get a free day, I drive up to some part of California that looks promising on the map.
221
We see the sea as this place of leisure and this place, you know, a blue patch on the map to fly over because we all go by plane these days, mostly. And we don’t really see it as a place of industry anymore.
222
I take that stage, and I’m the same guy backstage as I am on the stage. And you know what that guy is. That guy is a star. That guy is a champion. That guy is the guy that put ‘205 Live’ on the map.
223
Life is too mysterious to try to map it out. I’ve certainly lived long enough to know it will take you places you never thought it would take you – and some of those places are kind of wonderful.
224
If you look at a map, you see that Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. It’s 17 hours of straight flying from London. It’s very far away, and sometimes you feel as if you’re on another planet. But I like that. Also, that’s ideal for writing.
225
When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.
226
‘Star Trek’ put sci-fi on the map and changed television, and ‘Battlestar’ has changed it in another direction by making it a little more mainstream and acceptable to people who wouldn’t normally watch sci-fi.
227
Ludacris albums are all over the map in terms of overall quality, but as a rapper, he tops out as a hilarious, charismatic guy with a singular voice.
228
Every so often, you want to map out your plot mythology but never so specifically that you can’t let a story surprise you. You want to allow the type of action of the writer’s room so that you have the ability to take a left turn.
229
What we did is we used NASA topography data to map out the landscape, very subtle changes. We started to be able to see where the Nile used to flow.
230
At the very least, noir offers an alternate reality – moments of real passion, a bleak code of honor, and a need for freedom amid corruption. At its best, noir offers a map of subversion.
231
I like debate and argument, so I’m usually all right with disagreement, and I’m even all right if the critic doesn’t come to a clear thumbs up or thumbs down. But I need the disagreement to have some kind of line I can follow on the map. I like following an interesting mind along it.
232
When I’m, like, 30, I want to go off the map, have a family and live in Malibu with a farm, and just raise my own chickens.
233
The FHA literally drew up the redlining map and then basically distributed – I’m sorry, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation actually did it, and then distributed to banks who used that as policy to determine how they would lend and who they would lend to. The racism in the system was pervasive and total.
234
In 2011, I contributed an essay to Tin House, ‘The Dark Side of Dinner Dishes, Laundry, and Child Care,’ talking about women writers I felt had fallen off the map.
235
Parents are teachers as much as caregivers, and our children learn to navigate life’s challenges by watching us. Kids can get a road map for how to handle painful emotions.
236
We’ve got to map all of our ancient history before it’s gone because, let’s face it, if we don’t have a common heritage to share, something to get excited about, then what are we living for?
237
I want to be able to leave behind an infrastructure and a road map for any of my dreamers to follow. So that they can again take care of their family, pursue what they love and live a fulfilling life. Everyone is called, but not everyone answers. I was called, and I answered.
238
You fall in love with somebody who fits within what I call your ‘love map,’ an unconscious list of traits that you build in childhood as you grow up. And I also think that you gravitate to certain people, actually, with somewhat complementary brain systems.
239
LTE has accelerated faster than most people had anticipated. It really took off very quickly from the time it was introduced. We did have our internal development road map, but we just needed to accelerate it.
240
I always say that Sheri Martell was that one thing that put Harlem Heat on the map, made us a legitimate tag team.
241
I do go back to Russia frequently, about twice a year. I hate the flight, but it’s worth it. My parents have a home in a little village of 12 houses. It’s not on any map, so unless you know it’s there, you won’t find it. Nothing works there; no Internet, no cell phone, and the land line only works sometimes. It’s great!
242
I think Edge has completely put himself on the map as a bona fide WWE superstar.
243
I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.
244
I’ve got a rubber face. It has always served me very well and really helps, especially as I get older, because I still have all my road map intact, and I can use it at will.
245
Bolt put the Mobot on the map, to be honest with you! He’s just an amazing guy.
246
There’s no map for you to follow and take your journey. You are Lewis and Clark. You are the mapmaker.
247
Most of us are having to invent, discover, and create the next steps of our lives without a light, a map, or a relevant tradition.
248
The world map looks smaller than ever before.
249
There’s no road map on how to raise a family: it’s always an enormous negotiation.
250
We have fans in high school, all the way up to grandmas and 40-year-old housewives. College frat guys. It’s all over the map.
251
With your first film, you can make mistakes, but your second and third movies map out your career.
252
Fifteen years ago, France was the promised land of cooking. So I looked at a map, found five restaurants and faxed them to ask for a job. Within five minutes, I got a reply from the then three- star Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier.
253
As a Main Street businessman, I believe we need to reduce runaway federal spending and address our national debt and the MAP Act provides Congress with the tools to accomplish this goal.
254
If your country is wiped off the map and your language is banned, if your literature has to serve a cause, it becomes, however brilliant, rather hard to travel.
255
There was a great complexity to my father. He was a devoted family man. But, in the same breath, he simply was not suited to an anchored life. He should have been somebody who had a backpack, an old map, a bit of change in his pocket and that was it – roaming the world.
