GEOGRAPHY QUOTE

One of my favorite quotes from "Heart of Darkness", by Joseph Conrad

"Now when I was a little chap, I had a passion for maps. I would look for hours at South America, or Africa, or Australia, and lose myself in all the glories of exploration. At that time there were many blank spaces on the earth, and when I saw one that looked particularly inviting on a map, (but they all looked like that) I would put my finger on it and say, “When I grow up I will go there.”

Geography Quote

“A map is the greatest of all epic poems. Its lines and colors show the realization of great dreams.”

Great Geography Quote

"Geography has made us neighbors. History has made
us friends. Economics has made us partners, and
necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder."

John F. Kennedy
