Famous quotes containing the words tourist and/or attractions:

    “There is a mystery that floats between
    The tourist and the town. Imagination
    Estranges it from her. She need not suffer
    Or die here. It is none of her affair,
    Its calm heroic vistas make no claim.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “The world,—this shadow of the soul, or other me, lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult. I grasp the hands of those next to me, and take my place in the ring to suffer and to work, taught by an instinct, that so shall the dumb abyss be vocal with speech.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
