The task is not, so much to see what no one
has seen yet; but to think what nobody has
thought yet, about that which everybody sees.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If you have men who will exclude any of God's
creatures from the shelter of compassion,
you will have men who will deal
likewise with their fellow men.
St. Francis of Assisi
Speciesism is like racism, sexism and
homophobia: it involves using a morally
irrelevant criterion to block membership
in the moral community.
Gary L. Francione
It is not an act of kindness to treat animals
respectfully. It is an act of justice.
Tom Regan
My own view is that being vegan is not an end
in itself, but a means towards reducing both
human and animal suffering and leaving a
habitable planet to future generations.
Peter Singer
Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.
Benjamin Franklin
Intelligence is measured by a person's
ability to see validity within both sides
of contradicting arguments.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
When you see a good man, try to emulate
his example, and when you see a bad man,
search yourself for his faults.
Confucius
People who say things like "I can't worry
about animals when there are humans
who need help" tend to do f*ck all
to help humans neither...
Kindness is kindness. Simple as that.
Ricky Gervais
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct
him to hold in higher esteem those who think
alike than those to think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let us always remember that he does not really
believe his own opinion, who dares not
give free scope to his opponent.
Wendell Phillips
Strong minds discuss ideas,
average minds discuss events,
weak minds discuss people.
Socrates
