Famous quotes containing the words water and/or quality:

    “This is a red wine glass. Can I get my water in a water glass, please?”
    —Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)

    “One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner—in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
