Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice
any other virtue consistently.
Maya Angelou
It is in the nature of a group and its power
to turn against independence,
the property of individual strength.
Hannah Arendt
True peace is not merely the absence of tension;
it is the presence of justice.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
When people meet vegans, they become aware
in that moment that they eat animals.
They become uncomfortable and place
the feeling on the vegan. Their own sense
of mercy and compassion arises and
makes them uneasy. Mercy asks of you
to abstain from this cruelty.
Gary Smith
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
If you don't stick to your values when
they're being tested, they're not values:
they're hobbies.
Jon Stewart
To be yourself in a world that is constantly
trying to make you something else is
the greatest accomplishment.
Ralp Waldo Emerson
The individual has always had to struggle
to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
If you try it, you will be lonely often,
and sometimes frightened. But no price
is too high to pay for the privilege
of owning yourself.
Rudyard Kipling
