“The traveller sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.” (G.K. Chesterton)
Il viaggiatore vede ciò che vede, il turista vede ciò che è venuto a vedere.

“Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember and I remember more than I have seen.” (B. Disraeli)
Come tutti i grandi viaggiatori, ho visto più di quanto ricordi e ricordo più di quanto abbia visto.

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travellers don’t know where they’re going.” (P. Theroux)
I turisti non sanno dove sono stati, i viaggiatori non sanno dove stanno andando.

“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.” (D.D. Runes)
