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.”
