Western Hemlock Zone

Famous quotes containing the words western, hemlock and/or zone:

“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)

“The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

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