Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or oil:

    “The world, unfathomably fair,
    Is duller than a witling’s jest.
    Love wakes men, once a lifetime each;
    They lift their heavy lids, and look;
    And, lo, what one sweet page can teach,
    They read with joy, then shut the book.”
    —Coventry Kersey Dighton Patmore (1823–1896)

    “Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
    —Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
