Standard Time Zone

Famous quotes containing the words standard, time and/or zone:

    “Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate.”
    —Anne Tucker (b. 1945)

    “Custom calls me to’t.
    What custom wills, in all things should we do’t,
    The dust on antique time would lie unswept,
    And mountainous error be too highly heaped
    For truth to o’erpeer.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

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