"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food;
therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely
for the sake of his appetite. "
Leo Tolstoy
"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.
"
Charles Darwin
“Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We
live by the death of others: we are burial places! I have from an early
age abjured the use of meat, and the time will come when men such as I
will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of
men.”
Leonardo Da Vinci.
“Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival
of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian
diet.”
Albert Einstein.
“It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God,
the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion
towards our fellow creatures.”
Gandhi.
“To become vegetarian is to step into the stream which leads to
nirvana.”
Buddha.
“He is closest to God who harms no living creature.”
Bhagavad Gita.
"For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed,
he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and
love."
Pythagoras, mathematician
"While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we
expect any ideal conditions on this earth?"
George Bernard Shaw, playwright, Nobel Prize 1925
"In their behavior toward creatures, all men are Nazis. Human beings see
oppression vividly when they're the victims. Otherwise they victimize
blindly and without a thought."
Isaac Bashevis Singer, author, Nobel Prize 1978
"You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is
concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is
complicity."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist
"As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be
battlefields."
Leo Tolstoy, author
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all
evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still
savages."
Thomas Edison, inventor
"Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man
will not himself find peace."
Albert Schweitzer, missionary and statesman, Nobel
1952
"If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the
shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with
their fellow men. Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to
them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be
of service to them wherever they require it."
Francis of Assisi, saint
