How to Talk to Meat-Eaters

I cannot teach anybody anything.

I can only make them think.

Socrates

When dealing with people, remember you are

not dealing with creatures of logic,

but creatures of emotion.

Dale Carnegie

Shame corrodes the very part of us

that believes we are capable of change...

Guilt is just as powerful, but its influence

is positive, while shame is destructive.

Brené Brown

The two words 'information' and

'communication' are often used

interchangeably, but they signify

 quite different things.

Information is giving out;

communication is getting through.

Sydney J. Harris

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

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

Oppression tries to defend itself by its utility.

Simone de Beauvoir

It is vital that we be mindful of our language

choices as activists, lest we end up advocating

the very things we are fighting against.

Emily Moran Barwick

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 will not be conveyed

to someone if it's spoken in anger.

Leo Tolstoy
