Famous quotes containing the words tourist and/or places:
“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)
“All places are alike,
And every earth is fit for burial.”
—Christopher Marlowe (15641593)
