Animals in Entertainment

Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies,

bullfights, and crucifixions he has

so far felt best on Earth; and

when he invented hell for himself,

behold, that was his very heaven.

Friedrich Nietzsche

built on the misfortune of others.

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

don't look at where you stand on slavery today.

Look at where you stand on animal rights.

What an amount of suffering and cruel

punishment the poor creatures have to

endure in order to give a few moments

of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer

We know we cannot be kind to animals

until we stop exploiting them -

exploiting animals in the name of science,

exploiting animals in the name of sport,

exploiting animals in the name of fashion,

and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

César Chávez

When dealing with people, remember you are

not dealing with creatures of logic,

but creatures of emotion.

Never argue with stupid people,

they will drag you down to their level

and then beat you with experience.

The superior man thinks of virtue;

the common man thinks of comfort.

The best way to convince someone is by

making him realize that what you speak

came from his own mind.

Alan Watts

The most difficult subjects can be explained

to the most slow-witted man if he has not

formed any idea of them already; but

the simplest thing cannot be made clear

to the most intelligent man if he is firmly

persuaded that he knows already,

without a shadow of doubt,

what is laid before him.

Leo Tolstoy

Hypocrisy in anything whatever may deceive

the cleverest and most penetrating man,

but the least wide-awake of children

recognizes it, and is revolted by it,

however ingeniously it may be disguised.

Leo Tolstoy

to have been influenced by what you said.

but they feel your attitude.

then they fight you, then you win.

The changes in our life must come from

the impossibility to live otherwise than to

the demands of our conscience, not from our

mental resolution to try a new form of life.

Leo Tolstoy

In order for the truth to be heard, it must

be spoken with love. No matter how wise

and true a spoken word is it will not be

conveyed to someone if it's spoken in anger.

Leo Tolstoy
