Paul Bowles, expatriate writer, composer and traveler who lived 52 years in Tangier, Morocco.
“He did not think of himself as a tourist; he was a traveler. The difference is partly one of time, he would explain. 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.”
― Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky
