From "Little Gidding":

 We shall not cease from exploration
 And the end of all our exploring
 Will be to arrive where we started
 And know the place for the first time

From Lewis Carroll's HuntingOfTheSnark.

 He had bought a large map representing the sea, 
 Without the least vestige of land: 
 And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
 A map they could all understand. 
  
 "What's the good of Mercator's North Poles and Equators,
 Tropics, Zones, and Meridian Lines?" 
 So the Bellman would cry: and the crew would reply 
 "They are merely conventional signs! 
  
 "Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and  capes! 
 But we've got our brave Captain to thank:" 
 (So the crew would protest) "that he's bought us the best --  
 A perfect and absolute blank!" 

(sound like any methodology you know?)
