“The most eloquent and persuasive arguments for vegetarianism are those which are based on compassion and a sense of justice.”

“I do not see any reason why animals should be slaughtered to serve as human diet when there are so many substitutes.”

“The idea that we have a right to exploit other species for our own ends is a prejudice as indefensible as racism or sexism.”

“If we are to create a more peaceful world, we must start by extending our circle of compassion to include all living beings.”

“For a man to be a man, he must be a non-killer.”

“The time will come when public opinion will no longer tolerate the 'sport' of hunting, the 'fun' of tormenting and killing for pleasure.”

“An important personal reason for my vegetarianism is my belief that we should not inflict suffering on other sentient beings.”

“Kindness and mercy are not only for human beings; they are for all creation.”

“We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how frightfully dynamic force can be alongside the habit of containing it.”

“So pitiful a thing is success.”
