Coal Country

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or country:

    Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may will call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate.

    What this country really needs is a good five-cent cigar.
