"For example, desert regions inhabited by monsters, uncultivated lands, unkown seas on which no navigator has dared to venture, do not share with the city of Babylon, or the Egyptian nome, the privilege of a differentiated prototype. They correspond to a mythical model, but of another nature: all these wild, uncultivated regions and the like are assimilated to chaos; they still participate in the undifferentiated, formless modality of pre-Creation. This is why, when possession is taken of a territory...rites are performed that symbolically repeat the act of Creation: the uncultivated zone is first 'cosmicized,' then inhabited."

- Mircea Eliade, The Myth of Eternal Return

"As the centennial year approached, it was greeted with the boldest announcement of plans for retail expansion since the completion of the State Street store in 1907. In the town of Skokie, sixteen miles northwest of Chicago's Loop, the company will construct a retail sales center at a cost of more than $25,000,000. It will be another State Street, transferred to a prairie near Chicago's fastest growing suburb."

- Lloyd Wendt and Herman Kogan, Give the Lady What She Wants: The Story of Marshall Field & Company
