“A labyrinth is a symbolic journey . . . but it is a map we can really walk on, blurring the difference between map and world.”

“We knew the difference between that which cannot be expressed and that which must. We understood that while words are a path taking us only so far, they are a requisite to the journey. They are like road maps that show us which way to go.”

“Maps are essential. Planning a journey without a map is like building a house without drawings.”

“The poet Marianne Moore famously wrote of 'real toads in imaginary gardens,' and the labyrinth offers us the possibility of being real creatures in symbolic space...In such spaces as the labyrinth we cross over [between real and imaginary spaces]; we are really travelling, even if the destination is only symbolic.”

“Visual journals are created in a secret language of symbols. Intentional or not, they are private maps only their makers can follow.”

“They were maps that lived, maps that one could study, frown over, and add to; maps, in short, that really meant something.”
