Offensive Zone

Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or zone:

“I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

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