Twilight Zone

Famous quotes containing the words twilight and/or zone:

“But we still remember ... above all, the cool, free aspect of the wild apple trees, generously proffering their fruit to us, though still green and crude,—the hard, round, glossy fruit, which, if not ripe, still was not poison, but New English too, brought hither, its ancestors, by ours once. These gentler trees imparted a half-civilized and twilight aspect to the otherwise barbarian land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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