There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom,
lovers of honor and lovers of gain.
Plato
The successful forms of life are the parasites,
the ones who bleed their environment to
optimal exploitation, who stunt everything
by taking a lion's share, who leave
their hosts alive but shriveled.
Adam Johnson
If a group of beings considered themselves
as superior to you as you feel yourself
to be to other animals - would you
concede them the rights over you
that you assume over other animals?
George Bernard Shaw
Many of the actions by which men have
become rich are far more harmful to
the community than the obscure crimes of
poor men, yet they go unpunished because
they do not interfere with the existing order.
Bertrand Russell
Do not waste your time on social questions.
What is the matter with the poor is poverty;
what is the matter with the rich is uselessness.
George Bernard Shaw
The inherent vice of capitalism is
the unequal sharing of blessings.
The inherent virtue of socialism
is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill
Both optimists and pessimists contributes
to society. The optimist invents the airplane,
the pessimist the parachute.
George Bernard Shaw
There are two ways through life:
the way of Nature and the way of Grace.
You have to decide which one you'll follow.
Terrence Malick
Why should man expect his prayer for mercy
to be heard by what is above him when he
shows no mercy to those under his power?
Pierre Troubetzkoy
I think there is a connection between the way
we treat animals and the way we treat people
who are at the bottom of the hierarchy.
Angela Davis
The stories we tell literally make the world.
If you want to change the world,
you need to change your story.
Michael Margolis
The animal liberation movement is fighting
what is arguably the most entrenched
and widespread form of exploitation
in human history: speciesism.
Melanie Joy
In relation to animals, all people are Nazis;
for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.
Isaac Bashevis Singer
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mahatma Gandhi
