Talking Rubbish
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
Imelda Marcos
In Beverly Hills... they don't throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Woody Allen
I don't want to see pictures of Hollywood stars in their dressing gowns taking out the rubbish. It ruins the fantasy.
Sarah Brightman
Rubbish in, rubbish out does not apply to a junk Artist.
Tony Folari
There must be a reason why some people can afford to live well. They must have worked for it. I only feel angry when I see waste. When I see people throwing away things we could use.
Mother Teresa
We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly.
Clement of Alexandria
Trash: there are no rugs left to sweep it under.
Milwaukee Journal, 19 Apr 1970
It's time we stopped turning up our noses at the nation's garbage dumps and started appreciating them for what they really are -- the municipal mines, forests, oil wells and energy sources of the future!
Max Spendlove
Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope for thrift is limitless.
Thomas Edison
I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want to own.
Andy Warhol
The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.
Thomas Love Peacock
