    “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)

    “man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an
    evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the
    sons of men snared in an evil time,”
    —Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 12)

    “For four hundred years the blacks of Haiti had yearned for peace. for three hundred years the island was spoken of as a paradise of riches and pleasures, but that was in reference to the whites to whom the spirit of the land gave welcome. Haiti has meant split blood and tears for blacks.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
