Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or stoves:
“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)
“We do not suspect how much our chimneys have concealed; and now air-tight stoves have come to conceal all the rest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
