and the more helpless the victim,

the more horrific the crime.

Damien Mander

I am not a trinket

The whole concept of hunting is a very alien one

to me and I cannot comprehend how any person

can derive enjoyment or pleasure from

the suffering of another creature.

Mark Owen

Hunting is a coward's pastime.

In a world of boundless opportunities

for amusement, it's detestable that anyone

would choose to get thrills from killing

others who ask for nothing from life

but the chance to remain alive.

Roger Moore

Anyone who can not go into nature and enjoy it

without killing, should not be allowed entrance.

separated from law and justice

he is the worst.

Jo Frederiks

Tradition will accustom people to any atrocity.

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

don't look at where you stand on slavery today.

Look at where you stand on animal rights.

Paul Watson

What an amount of suffering and cruel

punishment the poor creatures have to

endure in order to give a few moments

of pleasure to men devoid of thought.

Albert Schweitzer

We cannot have peace among men whose hearts

delight in killing any living creature. By every

act that glorifies or even tolerates such

moronic delight, we set back

the progress of humanity.

Rachel Carson

Once we accept this view of animals - as our

resources - the rest is as predictable

as it is regrettable.

Tom Reagan

We know we cannot be kind to animals

until we stop exploiting them -

exploiting animals in the name of science,

exploiting animals in the name of sport,

exploiting animals in the name of fashion,

and yes, exploiting animals in the name of food.

People grow when they are loved well.

If you want to help others heal,

The problem isn't in your choices;

it's in romanticizing a life you haven't lived.

alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue

isn't making the right choice. It's choosing

and deciding which regret you'll live with.

Kierkegaard

You may never know what results come

of your actions, but if you do nothing,

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

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.

test... consists of its attitude towards those

who are at its mercy: animals.

in how it treats its most vulnerable members.

Mahatma Gandhi

The animals you eat are not those who devour

others; you do not eat the carnivorous beasts,

you take them as your pattern. You only

hunger for the sweet and gentle creatures

which harm no one, which follow you,

serve you, and are devoured by you

as the reward of their service.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

He who feeds a hungry animal,

feeds his own soul.

And together we shall find our home.

the most vulnerable and powerless

in our society.

Cory Booker

for a brief moment called life.

Eckhart Tolle

Jo Frederiks

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.

Pursuing self-esteem can be motivating,

but other sources of motivation, such as

goals that are good for the self and others,

can provide the same motivation

without the costs.

Jennifer Crocker & Lora Park

I believe that we are all creative beings and

that you were placed here on this earth

to create something of value to the world.

Something that will help others break free,

something that lights you up with passion and

something that is larger than just you.

Mastin Kipp

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and

go to the grave with the song still in them.

don't announce themselves... Usually something

that is going to change your whole life is

a memory before you can stop and

be impressed about it.

The really important kind of freedom involves

attention, and awareness, and discipline, and

effort, and being able truly to care about other

people and to sacrifice for them, over and over,

in myriad petty little unsexy ways, every day.

David Foster Wallace

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction

ends up being the biggest step of your life.

The purpose of life is to give it away.

It is a sort of splendid torch

which I have got a hold of for the moment and

I want to make it burn as brightly as possible

before handing it on to future generations.

lose yourself in the service of others.

I took the one less traveled by,

and that has made all the difference.

Everything that's happened in your life

up until now has been preparing you

to live your purpose. These have been lessons

and now it's your time to step into your purpose

and make your mark. You are stronger than

your circumstances and what other people say.

There is something within you that is only

yours to give. Give us all you've got.
