Tourist Quotes

The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence Picture Quote #1

It is not every tourist who bubbles over with mirth, and that unquenchable spirit of humor which turns a trial into a blessing Picture Quote #1

When you make a movie it’s always interesting, because you end up in places you never would as a normal visitor or tourist Picture Quote #1

Criticism is hypocrisy; society is hypocrisy. I’m a tourist. I’m a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of Picture Quote #1

Many times when you’re a tourist you can just stay on the surface and not really experience the place you’re visiting, which will probably leave you disappointed. Everywhere has something interesting; it’s just about being curious enough to find it and scratch where you have to scratch and stay longer and walk further Picture Quote #1

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist Picture Quote #1

Traveling for modeling has been great, but I never really have much time to live the tourist life while in all the different cities Picture Quote #1

Every photograph that is made whether by one who considers himself a professional, or by the tourist who points his snapshot camera and pushes a button, is a response to the exterior world, to something perceived outside himself by the person who operates the camera Picture Quote #1

Your responsibility is to be an explorer, not a tourist in this adventure that is your life Picture Quote #1

A tourist can’t help but have a distorted opinion of a place: he meets unrepresentative people, has unrepresentative experiences, and runs around imposing upon the place the fantastic mental pictures he had in his head when he got there Picture Quote #1

Don’t be a tourist. Plan less. Go slowly. I traveled in the most inefficient way possible and it took me exactly where I wanted to go Picture Quote #1

A tourist is a fellow who drives thousands of miles so he can be photographed standing in front of his car Picture Quote #1

Well, it was just, the bars was all just like the bamboo roofs and everything. You know. As I say, to me, it’s completely spoiled all, all these places now. Make them all just tourist traps Picture Quote #1

Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in Picture Quote #1

Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. Indeed, he would have found it difficult to tell, among the many places he had lived, precisely where it was he had felt most at home Picture Quote #1

Move to a new country and you quickly see that visiting a place as a tourist, and actually moving there for good, are two very different things Picture Quote #1

And because what we learn in the dark remains all our lives, a noise like the sea, displacing the day’s pale knowledge, you’ll come to yourself in a glimmer of rainfall or frost, the burnt smell of autumn, a meeting of parallel lines, and know you were someone else for the longest time, pretending you knew where you were, like a diffident tourist, lost on the one main square, and afraid to enquire Picture Quote #1

When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires Picture Quote #1

The sheeplike nature of travel - being on a beach with thousands of other people is not my idea of fun. I also don’t like being a tourist because you don’t know what’s really going on in a country Picture Quote #1

I found a cab eventually, and told the driver in fluent English that I wanted Wenceslas Square. This request, I now know, is phonically identical to the Czech phrase for 'I am an air - brained tourist, please take everything I have' Picture Quote #1

Every native of every place is a potential tourist, and every tourist is a native of somewhere. Every native everywhere lives a life of overwhelming and crushing banality and boredom and desperation and depression, and every deed, good and bad, is an attempt to forget this Picture Quote #1

Stay away from restaurants that have menus in five languages. That’s always a tourist trap. You want to eat where the locals eat Picture Quote #1

My writing is a combination of three elements. The first is travel: not travel like a tourist, but travel as exploration. The second is reading literature on the subject. The third is reflection Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind being a tourist at all, and a gawker. I just walk around Picture Quote #1

To be a mass tourist, for me,... is, in lines and gridlock and transaction after transaction, to confront a dimension of yourself that is as inescapable as it is painful: As a tourist, you become economically significant but existentially loathsome, an insect on a dead thing Picture Quote #1

Meanwhile it’s got stormy, the tattered fog even thicker, chasing across my path. Three people are sitting in a glassy tourist cafe between clouds and clouds, protected by glass from all sides. Since I don’t see any waiters, it crosses my mind that corpses have been sitting there for weeks, statuesque. All this time the cafe has been unattended, for sure. Just how long have they been sitting here, petrified like this? Picture Quote #1

A traveler enters the world into which he travels, but a tourist brings his own world with him and never sees the one he’s in Picture Quote #1

I had dreamed of something so different from what reality was now offering up, but that dream had been a blind man’s vision. That dream was a miracle. The morning was fading. And I remembered yet again that I was a tourist here Picture Quote #1

The tourist transports his own values and demands to his destinations and implants them like an infectious disease, decimating whatever values existed before Picture Quote #1
