Geography is just physics slowed down, 
with a couple of trees stuck in it. 
– Terry Pratchett 
Location, Location, Location. 
Everything is related to everything else, 
but near things are more related than 
distant things. 
– Tobler’s first law of geography 
You can be vague about the road to the 
Mountains of Mystery, but you need to 
know the way to the post office. 
– Streets of Ankh-Morpork Geo is coming. 
– Marissa Meyer
