Quote of the Day (Paul Theroux, on the Difference Between Travel and Tourism)

“The difference between travel and tourism: is the difference between walking in the hot sun to meet an angry person who is going to insult me and then tell me his amazing story, and lying in the sun sipping a cool drink and reading, say, Death in Venice. The first is more profitable; the second more pleasant. Both are enlightening.”—U.S. travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux quoted in Matthew Kronsberg, “20,000 Questions: Paul Theroux,” The Wall Street Journal, Sept. 26-27, 2015
