Vegans in Media

Many people, especially ignorant people,

want to punish you for speaking the truth,

for being correct, for being you.

Never apologize for being correct,

or for being years ahead of your time.

If you're right and you know it,

speak your mind.

Even if you are a minority of one,

the truth is still the truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Never, never be afraid to do what's right,

especially if the well-being of a person

or animal is at stake. Society's punishments

are small compared to the wounds we inflict

on our soul when we look the other way.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The further a society drifts from the truth,

the more it will hate those who speak it.

George Orwell

The truth is that people are brainwashed into

thinking that it's normal to consume animals.

They are so uncomfortable with confronting

what happens to those animals because

they are part and parcel of that cruelty.

Juliet Gellatley

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

Animal rights is a part of my everyday life.

When you live by example, you create a

certain level of awareness. People I have

never discussed veganism with are adopting

new habits because they see it.

Joaquin Phoenix

What people need to understand is, that

if they are eating animals, they are

promoting cruelty to animals.

Pamela Anderson

I cannot teach anybody anything.

I can only make them think.

Socrates

We are not living in a private world of our own.

Everything we say and do and think

has its effect on everything around us.

John Galsworthy

You either approve of violence or you don't,

and nothing on earth is more violent

or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

The thing that's annoying about there suddenly

being a lot of vegans is the nagging suspicion

that they might be right.

David Mitchell

First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you,

then they fight you, then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi

The treatment of animals by the food industry

is so excessively heartless, and such an affront

to natural justice, that we who by our silence

tacitly consent to these outrages deserve to

be shocked out of our sleep. In the long run,

Mr. Yourofsky may well be doing us

a moral service by confronting us, by

the spectacle of the crimes we participate in.

John Maxwell Coetzee

If it's not good enough for your eyes,

why is it good enough for your stomach?

Gary Yourofsky

The truth will set you free.

But first, it will piss you off.

Gloria Steinem
