Famous quotes containing the words leaf and/or miner:
“frog pond ...
a leaf falls in
without a sound”
—Bernard Lionel Einbond (b. 1937)
“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)
