"El emegine dayali is bizim yasamimizi surdurmemizi saglar ama, biz onun varligini unuturuz. Sadece calismasi son derecede korkunc oldugundan degil, ayni zamanda o calisma yasamsal bir gereklilik tasidigindan maden iscisi belki herkesten cok, el iscisini simgeler; ve buna karsin bizim yasadiklarimizdan cok uzak oldugu için, gozumuzun onunde olmadigi icin,nasil damarlarimizdaki kanin fakina varmazsak,onu da oyle unuturuz."
"It is so with all types of manual work; it keeps us alive, and we are oblivious of its existence. More than anyone else, perhaps, the miner can stand as the type of the manual worker, not only because his work is so exaggeratedly awful, but also because it is so vitally necessary and yet so remote from our experience, so invisible, as it were, that we are capable of forgetting it as we forget the blood in our veins."
