Improve Water Quality

Famous quotes containing the words improve, water and/or quality:

    There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Milton says, that the lyric poet may drink wine and live generously, but the epic poet, he who shall sing of the gods, and their descent unto men, must drink water out of a wooden bowl. For poetry is not “Devil’s wine,” but God’s wine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Reverence is the highest quality of man’s nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshipping themselves.
    Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
