    “I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.”

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “The cities are the principal home and seat of the human group. They are the coral colony for Man, the collective being.”
