Private Water

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or water:

    I am engaged to Concord and my own private pursuits by 10,000 ties, and it would be suicide to rend them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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)
