Outdoor Quote: Ian Littlewood
March 31st, 2008
“It is one of the seductions of travel that it allows us to enjoy the extremes of human emotion and experience in the knowledge that next morning we shall wake in a different place, having left them behind. In the normal way of things, sex, death and religion may be fascinating but they are also embroiling; their social contest imposes responsibilities and requirements. On the tourist they have no lasting claim; tomorrow will be another scene. The detachment allows them to become objects of the spectacle, along with everything else.”
—Ian Littlewood, Sultry Climates (2001)
