Vegans in Media

Many people, especially ignorant people,

want to punish you for speaking the truth,

for being correct, for being you.

Never apologize for being correct,

or for being years ahead of your time.

If you're right and you know it,

speak your mind.

Even if you are a minority of one,

the truth is still the truth.

Mahatma Gandhi

Never, never be afraid to do what's right,

especially if the well-being of a person

or animal is at stake. Society's punishments

are small compared to the wounds we inflict

on our soul when we look the other way.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

The further a society drifts from the truth,

the more it will hate those who speak it.

George Orwell

The truth is that people are brainwashed into

thinking that it's normal to consume animals.

They are so uncomfortable with confronting

what happens to those animals because

they are part and parcel of that cruelty.

Juliet Gellatley

Our grandchildren will ask us one day:

Where were you during the Holocaust

of the animals? What did you do against

those horrifying crimes? We won't be

able to offer the same excuse for

the second time, that we didn't know.

Helmut Kaplan

Animal rights is a part of my everyday life.

When you live by example, you create a

certain level of awareness. People I have

never discussed veganism with are adopting

new habits because they see it.

Joaquin Phoenix

You meet saints everywhere.

They are people behaving decently

in an indecent society.

Kurt Vonnegut

I cannot teach anybody anything.

I can only make them think.

Socrates

The thing that's annoying about there suddenly

being a lot of vegans is the nagging suspicion

that they might be right.

David Mitchell

We are not living in a private world of our own.

Everything we say and do and think

has its effect on everything around us.

John Galsworthy

You either approve of violence or you don't,

and nothing on earth is more violent

or extreme than the meat industry.

Morrissey

First, they ignore you, then they laugh at you,

then they fight you, then you win.

Mahatma Gandhi

The treatment of animals by the food industry

is so excessively heartless, and such an affront

to natural justice, that we who by our silence

tacitly consent to these outrages deserve to

be shocked out of our sleep. In the long run,

Mr. Yourofsky may well be doing us

a moral service by confronting us, by

the spectacle of the crimes we participate in.

John Maxwell Coetzee

If it's not good enough for your eyes,

why is it good enough for your stomach?

Gary Yourofsky

The truth will set you free.

But first, it will piss you off.

Gloria Steinem

Animal Holocaust

Auschwitz begins wherever someone

 looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks:

they're only animals.

Theodor Adorno

Do you know why so many survivors of

the Holocaust are vegan? Because

they know what it's like to be

treated like an animal.

Chuck Palahniuk

Every.Day.

Holocaust victims were treated like animals,

and so logically we can conclude that

animals are treated like Holocaust victims.

Matt Prescott

Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy

and disbelieves in those of his own side,

without ever bothering to examine the evidence.

George Orwell

Jo Frederiks

Let me say it openly: we are surrounded by an

enterprise of cruelty which rivals anything that

the Third Reich was capable of, indeed dwarfs it,

in that ours is an enterprise without end,

self-regenerating, bringing animals ceaselessly

into the world for the purpose of killing them.

John Maxwell Coetzee

Our grandchildren will ask us one day:

Where were you during the Holocaust

of the animals? What did you do against

those horrifying crimes? We won't be

able to offer the same excuse for

the second time, that we didn't know.

Helmut Kaplan

When Will We Ever Learn

Only when we have become non violent

towards all life will we have learned

to live well with others.

César Chávez

'Never again' is not about what others shouldn't

do to us. It's about what we shouldn't do

to others. 'Never again' means that we must

never again perpetrate mass atrocities

against other living beings.

Alex Hershaft

In relation to animals, all people are Nazis;

for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Rich Roll

Pursue what's in your heart, and

the universe will conspire to support you.

Rich Roll

You must be ready to burn yourself in your

own flame; how could you rise anew

if you have not first become ashes?

Friedrich Nietzsche

Smart people learn from everything

and everyone, average people from

their experiences, stupid people

already have all the answers.

Socrates

The greatest gift you have to give

is that of your own self-transformation.

Lao Tzu

You are in danger of living a life so comfortable

and soft, that you will die without ever

realizing your true potential.

David Goggins

If we begin with ourselves and do the things

that we need to do and become the best person

we can be, we have a much better chance

of changing the world for the better.

Aleksandr Solzjenitsyn

War on Women

Before you think good or evil, who are you?

Huineng

Ultimately evil is done not so much by evil people,

but by good people who do not know themselves

and who do not probe deeply.

Reinhold Niebuhr

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt

the world to himself. Therefore all progress

depends on the unreasonable man.

George Bernard Shaw

I sometimes try to imagine what would have

happened if we'd known the bonobo first

and the chimpanzee only later - or not at all.

The discussion about human evolution might not

revolve as much around violence, warfare and

male dominance, but rather around sexuality,

empathy, caring and cooperation.

Frans de Waal

The arc of the moral universe is long,

but it bends towards justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is impossible to think of the welfare of

the world unless the condition of women

is improved. It is not possible for a bird

to fly on only one wing.

Swami Vivekananda

The number of people with any criteria for

distinguishing between good and evil

is very small.

T.S. Eliot

One's life has value so long as one attributes

value to the life of others, by means of love,

friendship, indignation and compassion.

Simone de Beauvoir

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 worst thing that we can do as women

is not stand up for each other, and this is

something we can practice every day,

no matter where we are and what we do

- women sticking up for other women,

choosing to protect and celebrate each other

instead of competing or critizing each other.

Amal Clooney

The question is not whether we will be extremists,

but what kind of extremists we will be. For hate

or for love? For the preservation of injustice

or for the extension of justice?

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When I despair, I remember that all through

history the way of truth and love has always

won. There have been tyrants and murderers

and for a time they seem invincible, but in

the end they always fall... think of it, always.

Mahatma Gandhi

Body language is more powerful than words.

Ricky Gervais

- The art of eye contact.

- To be engaged is to be tuned in into every little movement and sound a person makes and how that plays into the words they're saying.

Manifesting & Receiving

What you think you become.

What you feel you attract.

What you imagine you create.

Buddha

You become what you give your attention to.

Epictetus

Where attention goes, energy flows.

Great minds have purposes;

others have wishes.

Washington Irving

If you hold an anti-war rally, I shall not attend.

But if you hold a Pro-Peace rally invite me.

Mother Teresa

Whoever gives nothing, has nothing.

The greatest misfortune is not to be unloved,

but not to love.

Albert Camus

1. Be inspired by others instead of being jealous.

2. Gratitude is second only to love.

3. Visualize what you want and that you already have it. Make it a practice.

4. Be a good person who deserves to get what you want.

The safest way to get what you want

is to deserve what you want.

Charlie T. Munger

Believing involves thinking, talking and acting

as though you have already received.

Mastin Kipp

He who is not contended with what he has,

would not be contended with what

he would like to have.

Socrates

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,

but the parent of all others.

Cicero

Life is an echo.

What you send out, comes back.

What you sow, you reap.

What you give, you get.

What you see in others, exists in you.

Remember, life is an echo.

It always gets back to you.

So give goodness.

Zig Ziglar

Sensuality

To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice

in the force of life itself and to be present in

all that one does, from the effort of loving

to the breaking of bread.

James Baldwin

Body language is more powerful than words.

Ricky Gervais

1. Natural hip swing.

The femme fatale expresses woman's ancient

and eternal control of the sexual realm.

The specter of the femme fatale stalks

all of men's relationships with women.

Camille Paglia

Tell me what a person finds sexually attractive

and I will tell you their entire philosophy of life.

Show me the person they sleep with and I will

tell you their valuation of themselves.

Ayn Rand

Eroticism is first and foremost

a thirst for otherness.

Octavio Paz

The secret of being a bore is to tell everything.

Voltaire

If animals could speak, the dog would

be a blundering outspoken fellow;

but the cat would have the rare grace

of never saying a word too much.

Mark Twain

Too much circulation makes the price go down.

Robert Greene

1. Confidence.

of human feeling and thinking.

Wilhelm Reich

Every saint has a past,

and every sinner has a future.

Oscar Wilde

To play a wrong note is insignificant.

To play without passion is inexcusable.

Ludwig van Beethoven

Everything in the world is about sex

except sex. Sex is about power.

Oscar Wilde

People should be more like animals... they

should be more intuitive; they should not

be too conscious of what they do

while they do it.

Albert Einstein

You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world,

and there's still going to be somebody

who hates peaches.

Dita Von Teese
