I prefer surveying for a week to spending a week in fashionable society even of the best class.

If you're not buying recycled products, you're not really recycling.
Ed Begley, Jr.
Image
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
Image
Much of our waste problem is to be accounted for by the intentional flimsiness and unrepairability of the labor-savers and gadgets that we have become addicted to.
Wendell Berry
Image
Recycling is what we do when we're out of options to avoid, repair, or reuse the product first. Firstly: Reduce. Don't buy what we don't need. Repair: Fix stuff that still has life in it. Reuse: Share. Then, only when you've exhausted those options, recycle.
Annie Leonard
Image
We prefer synthetic rather than natural materials. Natural products are almost too valuable. Wood is much harder to produce than metal. And metal is recyclable, while wood isn't.
Helmut Jahn

France at the dinner table in faraway places but here, among ourselves, in the family, let us face the facts: France is not poetic to tell the truth, she even feels a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic.
Charles Baudelaire
Image
I've never tried to emulate anyone. I've never idolized people, I prefer instead to get off on attitudes.
Michael Hutchence
Image
The recycling of resource by the aggregate behavior of a diverse array of agents is much more than the sum of the individual actions.
John Henry Holland
Image
We need to go back to our relationship with nature and understand that those trees are our lungs. The earth is recycling as our body. The rivers are our circulation. This air is our breath. And the star stuff, the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen that comes from distant galaxies is actually the molecules of your body.
Deepak Chopra
Image
I found myself recycling ideas and I saw that I had to invent reasons to compose a piece rather than start from some exciting idea.
Paul Lansky
Image
I really look at my childhood as being one giant rusty tuna can that I continue to recycle in many different shapes.
Augusten Burroughs
Image
But as population became denser, the natural chemical and biological recycling processes became overloaded, calling for a redefinition of property rights.
Garrett Hardin

I prefer theatre but TV keeps you well known.
Richard Briers

I don't know who the hell Paul Lynde is, or why he's funny, and I prefer it to be a mystery to me.
Paul Lynde

To want fame is to prefer dying scorned than forgotten.
Emile M. Cioran

I had really bad obsessive-compulsive disorder. At its worst, I was compelled to leave my house at three o'clock in the morning and go out in the alley because I just knew that the paper-towel roll I threw in the recycling bin was uncomfortable, like it was lying the wrong way, and I would be down in the garbage.
Fiona Apple
Image
I keep recycling and repackaging music that I've done in the past, as though I can't write anymore. Like, okay, I'm done with that. But I need to kind of prod myself again into come on, Herbie, get off your duff and start writing some new music.
Herbie Hancock
Image
Painting doesn't freeze time. It circulates and recycles time like a wheel that turns. Those who were first might well be last. Painting is a very slow art. It doesn't travel with the speed of light. That's why dead painters shine so bright.
Marlene Dumas
Image
We tend to prefer candidates that don't talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
Sarah Palin
Image
I don't like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself.
Frederick Wiseman
Image
A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.
Sallust
Image
Life is like a recycling center, where all the concerns and dramas of humankind get recycled back and forth across the universe. But what you have to offer is your own sensibility, maybe your own sense of humor or insider pathos or meaning. All of us can sing the same song, and there will still be four billion different renditions.
Anne Lamott
Image
Given the current state of our finances, we could sure use a quarter of a trillion dollars a year recycling through the U.S. economy rather than through the economies of Iran, Russia, and Venezuela.
