How to Talk to Meat-Eaters

I cannot teach anybody anything.
I can only make them think.

Socrates


The object of life is not to be on the side
of the majority, but to escape finding
oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Marcus Aurelius


When dealing with people, remember you are
not dealing with creatures of logic,
but creatures of emotion.

Dale Carnegie


Never argue with stupid people,
they will drag you down to their level
and then beat you with experience.

Mark Twain


The superior man thinks of virtue;
the common man thinks of comfort.

Confucius


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


I don't want to belong to any club
that would accept me as a member.

Groucho Marx


The very man who has argued you down,
will sometimes be found, years later,
to have been influenced by what you said.

C.S. Lewis



People may hear your words,
but they feel your attitude.

John C. Maxwell


First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi


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

The Life You Can Sa🧡e

What you do makes a difference, and you have to
decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Jane Goodall


Be nice to the environment.
Be nice to animals.
Be nice to people.
If you do that, you will leave
a mark on the world.

Enock Maregesi


'Animal Liberation' became the indispensable
foundational text for the movement
whose name it bore.

J.M. Coetzee


Widely recognized as the foundational text
within the animal liberation movement,
Peter Singer's Animal Liberation opened
my eyes to the radical philosophy that all
animals are worthy of equal consideration.

Joaquin Phoenix


Your legacy is every life you've ever touched.
Maya Angelou


All the arguments to prove man's superiority
cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering
the animals are our equals.

Peter Singer


The destiny of animals cannot be separated
from the destiny of man, and the destiny
of man cannot be separated from the destiny
of all of nature. I am exploring new narratives
that help build a bridge across the artifical
boundaries we have established between
ourselves and other species.

Gregory Colbert


Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening

our circle of compassion to embrace all living

creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.


Albert Einstein




My own view is that being vegan is not an end
in itself, but a means towards reducing both
human and animal suffering and leaving
a habitable planet to future generations.

Peter Singer


The world has enough for everyone's need,
but not enough for everyone's greed.

Mahatma Gandhi


We must change our diet. The planet
can't support billions of meat-eaters.

David Attenborough

Jo Frederiks

I think there is a connection between the way
we treat animals and the way we treat people
who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Angela Davis


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


Many people have ideas on how others
should change; few people have ideas
on how they should change.

Leo Tolstoy




The true worth of a man is to be
measured by the objects he pursues.

Marcus Aurelius


Never decide to do nothing just because you can
only do a little. Do what you can. You would
be surprised at what "little" acts have
done for the world.

Steve Maraboli




Each one of us makes a difference every day
by the choices we make. When billions start
making ethical decisions, we can put
the world on the right track.

Jane Goodall



A man is ethical only when he obeys
the compulsion to help all life which
he is able to assist, and shrinks from
injuring anyone who lives.

Albert Schweitzer


The difference between what we do and what we
are capable of doing would suffice to solve
most of the world's problems.

Mahatma Gandhi


May our broken hearts fuel us to fix our world.
