"Abstract knowledge about a place can be acquired in short order if one is diligent. The visual quality of an environment is quickly tallied if one has the artist's eye. But the 'feel' of a place takes longer to acquire. It is made up of experiences, mostly fleeting and undramatic, repeated day after day and over the span of years."
- Yi-Fu Tuan (Space and Place, The perspective of experience, University of Minnesota Press, 1977)
