    “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 advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “Classical art, in a word, stands for form; romantic art for content. The romantic artist expects people to ask, What has he got to say? The classical artist expects them to ask, How does he say it?”
    —R.G. (Robin George)

    “If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
    Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart;
    My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
    Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart.
    If this be love, to live a living death,
    Then do I love and draw this weary breath.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
