Famous quotes containing the word zone:

    There was a continuous movement now, from Zone Five to Zone Four. And from Zone Four to Zone Three, and from us, up the pass. There was a lightness, a freshness, and an enquiry and a remaking and an inspiration where there had been only stagnation. And closed frontiers. For this is how we all see it now.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

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