Most of us have effects too diffuse to measure . . .

Jane Austen, Middlemarch:

[T]he growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts, and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

It is indeed.

We can make our own maps.

 Unlocking the Mystery of Paris' Most Secret Underground Society:

Despite their unassailable secrecy, UX still have something to offer the rest of us, trapped on the far side of the smokescreen. . . .

The organization simply tries things. If one idea doesn't work, they move on to the next. And whereas doubt inhibits, precedents inspire new experiments. . . . We cannot join UX. They will not tell us who they are, or what lies at the heart of the maze. But we can do as they did. We can make our own maps.
