Famous quotes containing the words forest and/or zone:

    “For Nature ever faithful is
    To such as trust her faithfulness.

    When the night and morning lie,
    When the sea and land refuse to feed me,
    ‘Twill be time enough to die.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
