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
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
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.
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 inherent vice of capitalism is
the unequal sharing of blessings.
The inherent virtue of socialism
is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill
The animal liberation movement is fighting
what is arguably the most entrenched
and widespread form of exploitation
in human history: speciesism.
Melanie Joy
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress
can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Mahatma Gandhi
