Water Quotes

“There's little in taking or giving, There's little in water or wine: This living, this living, this living, Was never a project of mine.

“The procedure has a strange Alice-in-Wonderland quality. The reservoir was created as a public water supply, yet the community, probably unconsulted about the sportsmen's project, is forced either to drink water containing poisonous residues or to pay our tax money for treatment of the water to remove the poisons - treatments that are by no means foolproof.”
