Here are a couple of quotes from literature which capture some of the feeling of making plans.
"I have knowledge of the way the world works and the world works best when there is a plan. I will plan an adventure, Jim Hawkins."
Dr. Livesey, Treasure Island
This quote perfectly captures the excitement of making bold and exciting plans and what could be more exciting than an expedition to Flint's Island to find treasure?
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" said Alice.
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where ..." said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"...so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if only you walk long enough."
