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)

“There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.”
