“The
Human Spirit Is Not Dead. It Lives On In Secret... It Has Come To
Believed That Compassion, In Which All Ethics Must Take Root, Can Only
Attain Its Full Breadth And Depth If It Embraces All Living Creatures
And Does Not Limit Itself To Mankind.”
-Albert Schweitzer
"'Kindness' covers all of my political
beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end,
according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a
little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that
is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To
make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to
contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems,
our health, our circumstances. We must try."
~Roger Ebert

“I have come to believe over and over again
that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and
shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.”

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently - they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
- Steve Jobs

“Asking vegans to respect your decision to eat meat is on par with asking feminists to respect sexists, asking POC to respect racists and asking homosexuals to respect homophobes. It is ludicrous to think that difference in opinion warrants mutual respect, especially when the opposing opinion in question not only stands for everything you are against but also appropriates suffering, defends oppression and encourages the continuance of exploitation.” - Kieren
“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man.”
-Henry Beston
"I had never seen a slaughterhouse before. My blood ran cold. This
didn't just turn me into a vegetarian. It turned me into a genuinely
compassionate human being. I ultimately became vegan when I aw what
happens to millions of chickens - their beak burned off, millions of
tiny male chicks being hurled to their death into grinders, premature
calves being deliberately induced and being killed by crushing to death.
It is a so tiresome to hear the hideous lies and self delusion from
those who profit from this ghastly trade. I am a vegan because I love
life in all its forms."
- Philip Wollen
