Emotion is the chief source of consciousness.
There is no change from darkness to light or
from inertia to movement without emotion.
Carl Jung
Man is an animal with primary instincts
of survival. Consequently his ingenuity
has developed first and his soul afterwards.
The progress of science is far ahead
of man's ethical behavior.
Charlie Chaplin
Gods always behave like the people
who created them.
Zora Neale Hurston
The femme fatale expresses woman's ancient
and eternal control of the sexual realm.
The specter of the femme fatale stalks
all of men's relationships with women.
Camille Paglia
Computers will overtake humans with AI
within the next 100 years. When that happens,
we need to make sure the computers
have goals aligned with ours.
Stephen Hawking
Humanity's true moral test, its fundamental
test... consists of its attitude towards those
who are at its mercy: animals.
Milan Kundera
True empathy is not self-focused but
other-oriented. Instead of making humanity
the measure of all things, we need to evaluate
other species by what they are.
Frans de Waal
Compassion is the signature
of higher consciousness.
Amit Ray
If a group of beings were to land on Earth -
beings who considered themselves as superior
to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals
- would you concede them the rights over you
that you assume over other animals?
George Bernard Shaw
When dealing with people, remember you are
not dealing with creatures of logic,
but creatures of emotion.
Dale Carnegie
The Creature includes animals within its moral
codes, but is thwarted and deeply frustrated
when seeking to be included within the moral
codes of humanity. It learns that regardless
of its own inclusive moral standards, the human
circle is drawn in such a way that both it
and the other animals are excluded from it.
Carol J. Adams
The basis of all animal rights should be
the Golden Rule: we should treat them
as we would wish them to treat us, were
any other species in our dominant position.
Christine Stevens
The question is not, "Can they reason?"
nor "Can they talk?" but, "Can they suffer?"
Jeremy Bentham
The destiny of civilized humanity depends more
than ever on the moral forces it is capable
of generating.
Albert Einstein
Man worships an invisible God and destroys
a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature
he's destroying is this God he's worshiping.
Hubert Reeves
