Famous quotes containing the words water and/or consumption:
“Eternal Venice sinking by degrees
Into the very water that she lights;”

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
