Boorstin Daniel J., Traveller - tourist

The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes sightseeing.

Daniel J. Boorstin, The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America


Rest not
Life is sweeping by
go and dare before you die.
Something mighty and sublime,
leave behind to conquer time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
