Non-violence leads to the highest ethics,
which is the goal of all evolution.
Until we stop harming all other
living beings, we are still savages.

There can be no doubt as to which side is right
and which side is wrong, for compassionate
defense of life is a force of good and sadistic
mass destruction of life is a force for evil.
Paul Watson
The wrongfulness, the immorality of eating
animals has been recognized by all mankind
during all the conscious life of humanity.
Leo Tolstoy
Wrong does not cease to be wrong
because the majority share in it.
Leo Tolstoy
All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Insanity in individuals is something rare -
but in groups, parties, nations and epochs,
it is the rule.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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.
Paul Watson
'Never again' is not about what others shouldn't
do to us. It is about what we shouldn't do
to others. 'Never again' means that we must
never again perpetrate mass atrocities
against other living beings.
Alex Hershaft
Our grandchildren will ask us one day:
Where were you during the Holocaust
of the animals? What did you do against
those horrifying crimes? We won't be
able to offer the same excuse for
the second time, that we didn't know.
Helmut Kaplan
Albert Schweitzer
As long as man continues to be the ruthless
destroyer of other living beings he will never
know health or peace. For as long as men
massacre animals, they will kill each other.
Pythagoras
As long as people will shed the blood of innocent
creatures there can be no peace, no liberty,
no harmony between people. Slaughter
and justice cannot dwell together.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
As long as there are slaughterhouses
there will be battlefields.
Leo Tolstoy
I'm in favor of animal rights as well as human
rights. That is the way of a whole human being.
Abraham Lincoln
Animals are the main victims of history, and
the treatment of domesticated animals
in industrial farms is perhaps
the worst crime in history.
Yuval Noah Harari
Man's inhumanity to man is only
surpassed by his cruelty to animals.
George Bernard Shaw
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable
network of mutuality, tied in a single garment
of destiny. Whatever affects one directly,
affects all indirectly.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every man is a creature of the age in which
he lives and few are able to raise themselves
above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire
One day the absurdity of the almost universal
human belief in the slavery of other animals
will be palpable. We shall then have
discovered our souls and become
worthier of sharing this planet with them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
