Treated Effluent

Famous quotes containing the words treated and/or effluent:

“Utopias are presented for our inspection as a critique of the human state. If they are to be treated as anything but trivial exercises of the imagination. I suggest there is a simple test we can apply.... We must forget the whole paraphernalia of social description, demonstration, expostulation, approbation, condemnation. We have to say to ourselves, “How would I myself live in this proposed society? How long would it be before I went stark staring mad?””
—William Golding (b. 1911)

“Unfortunately, our affluent society has also been an effluent society.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
