If efforts to do social work are couched in selfish motives then they will die a premature death. Why would my efforts get politicised? I have values I inherited from my father. He helped many. Anyone even a postman knocking on our door would get a glass of water and some sweets.

We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water and if you buy one for yourself buy six because everybody's going to want one.

I wanted my children to have the same exposure to the water I had. My strongest memories of Northeast Harbor are going in a small Whaler with my dad looking for osprey.

How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold cold bath early in the morning? I jump in throw the water cold as ice and after the first plunge I am happy.

I remember in high school trying to get home from water-polo practice in time so I could see Happy Days on television when it first came on because I was so blown away by it. It was just such a cool thing.

It's a beautiful thing diving into the cool crisp water and then just sort of being able to pull your body through the water and the water opening up for you.

All I know about thermal pollution is that if we continue our present rate of growth in electrical energy consumption it will simply take by the year 2000 all our freshwater streams to cool the generators and reactors.

Good words cool more than cold water.

Technology is like water it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.

Even in the developing parts of the world kids take to computers like fish to water.

Thoughts will change and shift just like the wind and the water when you're on the boat thoughts are no different than anything else.

I wanted to end my life so bad and was in my car ready to go down that ramp into the water and I did go part way but I stopped. I went again and stopped. I then got out of the car and stood by the car a nervous wreck.

I prefer to sing in the shower vs. the car. The shower is just steam you know its just you and nature and no clothing. You know there's nothing separating you. It's just you and the voice - you and the water.

I've been in a car three or four times when it filled with water and it's not a comfortable feeling.

I think we're getting to the point where everyone's getting fat and everyone's getting allergic or claims to be allergic to something and people can't walk from their front door to their car without a bottle of water in their hand because they have to hydrate every three and half steps.

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images its dreams its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination Watergate Vietnam.

I don't want to die in a car accident. When I die it'll be a glorious day. It'll probably be a waterfall.
