• Nunca he visto un río que no me encantara. El agua en movimiento... tiene una vitalidad fascinante. Tiene fuerza, gracia y asociaciones. Tiene mil colores y mil formas, y sin embargo sigue leyes tan definidas que el arroyuelo más pequeño es una réplica exacta de un gran río.

• Love is not a feeling; it's a sensation. Drinking water when you're thirsty is a sensation, not a feeling. Being in nature or swimming in the sea is a sensation, not a feeling. Lying down when you're tired is sensational, not a feeling, although you may say it feels good. Feeling is an emotional interpretation of experience and these sensations don't need interpretation; they are just good or right. Making physical love rightly is a sensation, not a feeling. So is the love of God. The same goes for joy and beauty; both are sensational.'

• So it is always preferable to discuss the matter of veganism in a non-judgemental way. Remember that to most people, eating flesh or dairy and using animal products such as leather, wool, and silk, is as normal as breathing air or drinking water. A person who consumes dairy or uses animal products is not necessarily or usually what a recent and unpopular American president labelled an "evil doer.

• Gaza is often described as 'the world's largest open air prison' because no-one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons - they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost every day.

• I gather you yellow-skinned men, despite your triumphs in sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, still don't have democracy. Some politician on the radio was saying that that's why we Indian are going to beat you: we may not have sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, but we do have democracy. If I were making a country, I'd get the sewage pipes first, then the democracy, then I'd go about giving pamphlets and statues of Gandhi to other people, but what do I know? I am just a murderer!

• Más de 1.000 millones de personas no tienen acceso a agua potable limpia, y más de 2.900 millones no tienen acceso a servicios de saneamiento. La realidad es que cada ocho segundos muere un niño por beber agua contaminada, y la tendencia del saneamiento está empeorando bruscamente, sobre todo por el éxodo mundial del campesinado rural a los barrios marginales urbanos.

• El socialismo no consiste en grandes conceptos y pesadas teorías. El socialismo consiste en dar un techo decente a los que no tienen hogar. Es agua para los que no tienen agua potable. Se trata de asistencia sanitaria, de una vida digna para los ancianos. Se trata de superar la enorme brecha entre las zonas urbanas y rurales. Se trata de una educación decente para todo nuestro pueblo. El socialismo consiste en hacer retroceder la tiranía del mercado. Mientras la economía esté dominada por unos pocos privilegiados no elegidos, habrá argumentos a favor del socialismo.

• Try not to have any break in chanting the mantra even for a moment. Continue repeating the mantra while engaged in any task. Chanting in the mind may not always be possible at first, so in the beginning, practice japa by moving the lips incessantly-like a fish drinking water.

• Ha llegado el momento de poner fin a esta farsa. Las deudas son impagables. Si no cancelan la deuda, yo sugeriría obstrucción; háganlo ustedes mismos. África debería decir: 'muchas gracias, pero necesitamos este dinero para cubrir las necesidades de los niños que se están muriendo ahora mismo, así que destinaremos los pagos del servicio de la deuda a inversiones sociales urgentes en sanidad, educación, agua potable, control del sida y otras necesidades'".

• The trouble with water-and there is trouble with water-is that they're not making any more of it. They're not making any less, mind, but no more either. There is the same amount of water in the planet now as there was in prehistoric times.

• Without in any way minimising the economic and psychological blow that people experience when they lose their jobs, the unemployed in affluent countries still have a safety net, in the form of social security payments, and usually free healthcare and free education for their children. They also have sanitation and safe drinking water.

• There are fewer chemical pollutants in the air. Our drinking water is safer. Our food standards have been raised. We've cleaned up more toxic waste sites in three years than the previous administrations did in twelve. The environment is cleaner, and we have fought off the most vigorous assault on environmental protection since we began to protect the environment in 1970. We are moving in the right direction to the 21st century.

• Every morning our newspapers could read, 'More than 20,000 people perished yesterday of extreme poverty.' How? The poor die in hospital wards that lack drugs, in villages that lack antimalarial bed nets, in houses that lack safe drinking water. They die namelessly, without public comment. Sadly, sad stories rarely get written.

• Por lo visto, señor, ustedes los chinos nos llevan mucha ventaja en todos los aspectos, excepto en que no tienen empresarios. Y nuestra nación, aunque no tenga agua potable, electricidad, alcantarillado, transporte público, sentido de la higiene, disciplina, cortesía o puntualidad, ''sí'' tiene empresarios. Miles y miles de ellos. Especialmente en el campo de la tecnología. Y estos empresarios - "nosotros" los empresarios- hemos creado todas estas empresas de subcontratación que prácticamente dirigen América ahora.

• He picked up the letter Q and hurled it into a distant privet bush where it hit a young rabbit. The rabbit hurtled off in terror and didn’t stop till it was set upon and eaten by a fox which choked on one of its bones and died on the bank of a stream which subsequently washed it away. During the following weeks Ford Perfect swallowed his pride and struck up a relationship with a girl who had been a personnel officer on Golgafrincham, and he was terribly upset when she suddenly passed away as a result of drinking water from a pool that had been polluted by the body of a dead fox.
