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
We're at war with nature. If we win, we're lost.
Hubert Reeves
No one will protect what they don't care about,
and no one will care about what
they have never experienced.
David Attenborough
The question is not, "Can they reason?"
nor "Can they talk?" but, "Can they suffer?"
Jeremy Bentham
Man can no longer live for himself alone.
We must realize that all life is valuable
and that we are united to all life.
Albert Schweitzer
The greater your capacity for love,
the more beauty you find in the world.
Jane Smiley
The most ethical diet just so happens to be
the most environmentally sound diet and
just so happens to be the healthiest.
Michael Greger
Why are you so afraid of change? Nothing
in this world can be without change. Only
one rule is constant: do not do anything
inhumane to others.
Marcus Aurelius
Answer me, you who believe that animals are
only machines. Has nature arranged for this
animal to have all the machinery of feelings
only in order for it not to have any at all?
Voltaire
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
I realized as I watched him fight for breath,
that his life was as important to him
as mine is to me.
Paul McCartney
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
We're all members of the animal kingdom.
Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea.
Prince
Even in the worm that crawls in the earth
there glows a divine spark. When you
slaughter a creature, you slaughter God.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
