Miner Lane

Famous quotes containing the words miner and/or lane:

    Many a miner has gone
    into the deep pit
    to receive the dust of a kiss,
    an ore-cell.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.
    —Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
