Famous quotes containing the word miner:

    “Many a miner has gone
    into the deep pit
    to receive the dust of a kiss,
    an ore-cell.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “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)
