2006 C%c3%b4te Divoire Toxic Waste Dump

Famous quotes containing the words toxic, waste and/or dump:

    America today is capable of terrific intolerance about smoking, or toxic waste that threatens trout. But only a deeply confused society is more concerned about protecting lungs than minds, trout than black women.
    Garry Wills (b. 1934)

    As ye of clay were cast by kind,
    So shall ye waste to dust.
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    I want to celebrate these elms which have been spared by the plague, these survivors of a once flourishing tribe commemorated by all the Elm Streets in America. But to celebrate them is to be silent about the people who sit and sleep underneath them, the homeless poor who are hauled away by the city like trash, except it has no place to dump them. To speak of one thing is to suppress another.
    Lisel Mueller (b. 1924)
