Miner Forty Niner

Famous quotes containing the words miner and/or forty:

    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)

    The clothes on your back did not wear out and your feet did not swell these forty years.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 8:4.
