Narrow Black

Famous quotes containing the words narrow and/or black:

“After reading Howitt’s account of the Australian gold-diggings one evening,... I asked myself why I might not be washing some gold daily, though it were only the finest particles,—why I might not sink a shaft down to the gold within me, and work that mine.... At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Never ‘eld with mournin’ meself. I always say, life’s black enough as it is without dressin’ in it, too.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
