Famous quotes containing the words access, clean and/or water:
“Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party. The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, “they” don’t want me, “they” accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, “they” don’t deserve me.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Ah my deare God! though I am clean forgot, Let me not love thee, if I love thee not.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“If there’s water in the big rivers, the small rivers will be full.”
—Chinese proverb.
