People's opinions are mainly designed to make
them feel comfortable; truth, for most people,
is a secondary consideration.
Bertrand Russell
We are haunted by the horror of what we do
to animals, but we are equally haunted by
the knowledge of how unhaunted others are.
J.M. Coetzee
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
The hottest places in hell are reserved for
those who, in times of great moral crisis,
maintain their neutrality.
Dante Alighieri
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.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Courage is the most important of all the virtues,
because without courage you can't practice
any other virtue consistently.
Maya Angelou
We only become what we are by the radical
and deep-seated refusal of that which
others have made of us.
Jean Paul Sartre
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
