🌱 The Vegan Community 🌻

People working together in a strong community
with a shared goal and a common purpose
can make the impossible possible.

Tom Vilsack


If you think we can't change the world,
it just means you're not one of those who will.

Jacque Fresco


The time will come when men such as I
will look upon the murder of animals
as they now look upon the murder of men.

Leonardo da Vinci


Think about what your skills are, and what you
enjoy doing, or what you're good at and
employ those specific skills to make
the world a better place.

Jo-Anne McArthur


Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked,
in which you can walk with love and reverence.

Henry David Thoreau


I am of the opinion that my life belongs to
the whole community and as long as I live,
it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

George Bernard Shaw


The key is to keep company only with people who
uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Epictetus



All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer


Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead


A man can live and be healthy without killing
animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat,
he participates in taking life merely
for the sake of his appetite.
And to act so is immoral.

Leo Tolstoy


You meet saints everywhere.
They are people behaving decently
in an indecent society.

Kurt Vonnegut


We can judge the heart of a man
by his treatment of animals.

Immanuel Kant


The thing that's annoying about there suddenly
being a lot of vegans is the nagging suspicion
that they might be right.

David Mitchell



You can judge a man's true character by
the way he treats his fellow animals.

Paul McCartney



I'm so proud to be a vegan.
It's the best decision I have ever made.
For my health and for the world and
for the sake of decency and compassion.

Paul Wesley


Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do
what I believe is right. That's powerful.

Alicia Silverstone







Truth has to be repeated constantly,
because Error also is being preached all the time,
and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In
the Press, Encyclopaedias, in Schools and
Universities, everywhere Error holds sway,
feeling happy and comfortable in
the knowledge of having Majority on its side.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


We are all victims of the violence that animals
suffer... their liberation is also our liberation.

George Bernard Shaw


My awareness of belonging to the invisible
community of those who strive for truth,
beauty and justice has prevented me
from feelings of isolation.

Albert Einstein


Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi


People who say things like "I can't worry
about animals when there are humans
who need help" tend to do f*ck all
to help humans neither...
Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.

Ricky Gervais


My life is my message.
Mahatma Gandhi



We are only as strong as we are united,
as weak as we are divided.

J.K. Rowling



The day the power of love overrules the love
of power, the world will know peace.

Mahatma Gandhi

Write Your Own Story 🪷

The most important relationship we can all have
is the one you have with yourself, the most
important journey you can take is one of
self-discovery. To know yourself, you must
spend time with yourself, you must not
be afraid to be alone. Knowing yourself
is the beginning of all wisdom.

Aristotle


It's not the events of our lives that shape us,
but our beliefs as to what those events mean.

Tony Robbins


Humans think in stories, and we try to
make sense of the world by telling stories.

Yuval Noah Harari


The stories we tell literally make the world.
If you want to change the world,
you need to change your story.

Michael Margolis



Habits are the way you embody identity.
True behavior change is really identity change.

James Clear


The mind and the body imprint each other.
What we think, we become.
What we become, we think.

Edgar Cayce


A season of loneliness and isolation
is when the caterpillar gets its wings.

Mandy Hale


It is a gift to not fit in. It sets you on a journey
of finding a sanctuary within yourself.

Brianna Wiest


Modern man lives under the illusion that he
knows what he wants, while he actually wants
what he is supposed to want. In order to accept
this it is necessary to realize that to know
 what one really wants is not comparatively
easy, as most people think, but one of the most
 difficult problems any being has to solve.
It is a task we frantically try to avoid
by accepting ready-made goals as though
they were our own.

Erich Fromm


We pursue external goals
to hit an internal emotional target.

Mastin Kipp


People are always angry at anyone who
chooses individual standards for his life;
because of the extraordinary treatment which
that man grants to himself, they feel degraded,
like ordinary beings.

Nietzsche


The person who follows the crowd will usually go
no further than the crowd. The person who
walks alone is likely to find himself in places
no one has ever seen before.

Albert Einstein


I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single
intelligent man to the thoughtless approval
of the masses.

Johannes Kepler


1. Write down and practice your values.
2. Build a practice of contemplation.
3. Read. Expose yourself to people who had deeper thoughts than you.

You feel lonely not because nobody
is with you but because you are
not with you.

Shams Tabrizi


- Leave room for the unexpected.
- Find your unique way to contribute to someone's life.
- Set interesting goals and challenge yourself. Never stop learning.
- Slow down to appreciate what you already have.
- Fill your free time with meaningful hobbies.

Do not spoil what you have
by desiring what you have not;
remember that what you now have
was once among the things you only hoped for.

Epicurus


We live in a world where funerals are more
important than the deceased, marriage is more
important than love, looks are more important
than the soul. We live in a packaging
culture that despise content.

Sir Anthony Hopkins


Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead
where there is no path and leave a trail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


I don't know what your destiny will be,
but one thing I know: the only ones among you
who will be really happy are those
who sought and found how to serve.

Albert Schweitzer


Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de tvingar dig att gå
där du inga fotspår
har att lita på.

Du ska tacka dina gudar,
om de gör all skam till din.
Du får söka tillflykt
lite längre in.

Det som hela världen dömer
reder sig ibland rätt väl.
Fågelfri var mången,
vann sin egen själ.

Den som tvingas ut i vildskog
ser med nyfödd syn på allt,
och han smakar tacksam
livets bröd och salt.

Du ska tacka dina gudar,
när de bryter bort ditt skal.
Verklighet och kärna
blir ditt enda val.

Karin Boye
