Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or bars:

    “Perfect alchemists I keep who can transmute substances without end, and thus the corner of my garden is an inexhaustible treasure-chest. Here you can dig, not gold, but the value which gold merely represents; and there is no Signor Blitz about it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I would sell my life to avoid
    the pain that begins in the crib
    with its bars or perhaps
    with your first breath
    when the planets drill
    your future into you....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
