Coal Country

Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or country:

    Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes.
    Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)

    [I]n our country economy, letter writing is an hors d’oeuvre. It is no part of the regular routine of the day.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
