Fresh Water Traction

Famous quotes containing the words fresh and/or water:

    Ever fresh the broad creation,
    A divine improvisation,
    From the heart of God proceeds,
    A single will, a million deeds.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.
    New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
