Famous quotes containing the words tourist and/or interests:
“The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“two strangers uniting in the interests of torment”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
