Marilyn is a kind of ultimate. She is uniquely

feminine. Everything she does is different,

strange and exciting; from the way she talks

to the way she uses that magnificient torso.

She makes a man proud to be a man.

Clark Gable

I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool

themselves. They didn't bother to find out who

or what I was. Instead they would invent

a character for me. I wouldn't argue

with them. They were obviously

loving somebody I wasn't.

Marilyn Monroe

I knew I belonged to the public and the world,

not because I was talented or even beautiful,

but because I had never belonged to

anything or anyone else.

Marilyn Monroe

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood

night - there must be thousands of girls sitting

alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie

star. But I'm not going to worry about them.

I'm dreaming the hardest.

Marilyn Monroe

I stopped eating animals a long time ago

because they deserve to be protected

from needless cruelty and violence.

Pamela Anderson

What people need to understand is that

if they are eating animals, they are

promoting cruelty to animals.

Pamela Anderson

As long as animals are considered an inferior

species, all kinds of evil and suffering will be

inflicted on them. They will be killed for our

needs, our leisure and pleasure.

Brigitte Bardot

How to Go Vegan

It is our hearts, not just our heads,

that demand of us that we overcome,

for them, the habits and forces

behind their systematic oppression.

That requires both our passion and

our discipline. The fate of animals

is in our hands. God grant

we are equal to the task.

Tom Regan

Success is not achieved by the impractical who

merely contemplate, but by the individuals

who face reality head-on and take

Pick Me Vegans

What the herd hates most is the one who thinks

differently; it is not so much the opinion itself,

but the audacity of wanting to think

for themselves, something that they

do not know how to do.

Arthur Schopenhauer

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.

We only become what we are by the radical

and deep-seated refusal of that which

others have made of us.

Jean Paul Sartre

We are only as strong as we are united,

as weak as we are divided.

J.K. Rowling

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

Humans think in stories, and we try to

make sense of the world by telling stories.

Marcus Aurelius

A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.

The man who never reads lives only one.

that is love.

Dear Vegetarians...

To be vegan is to disagree with cruelty.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Jo Frederiks

Being vegan for me is about trying to live

a life where I'm not contributing to

the cruelty in the world.

Jessica Chastain

Veganism is not a diet.

It is a rejection of violence.

Marlana Mazmanian McCliman

We're exploiting female bodies and abusing

the magic of female animals

to create eggs and milk.

Nathalie Portman

The world is not a factory and animals

are not products for our use.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Being vegetarian here also means that we

do not consume dairy and egg products,

because they are products of the meat industry.

If we stop consuming, they will stop producing.

Only collective awakening can create

enough determination for action.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Jo Frederiks

We've objectified certain animals so much

that we refer to them as 'livestock'.

'Stock' that just so happens to be alive.

An inconvenience that they were

even alive to begin with.

Ed Winters
