"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
- Martin Luther King
In the words of a great man...."Unless someone like you cares a whole lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.”
- Dr. Seuss, The Lorax
This house is no longer standing
"But where was I to start? The world is so vast, I shall start with the country I knew best, my own. But my country is so very large. I had better start with my town. But my town, too, is large. I had best start with my street. No, my home. No, my family. Never mind, I shall start with myself.”
- Elie Wiesel
" I like to extress my self with a small box, that makes pictures out of light, no I'm not insain. "
"Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes - by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.”
- David Coats, Old MacDonald's Factory Farm
"only when the last tree has died, and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught, will we relize we can not eat money."
" If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it. "-Wonka
"some people carry pictures in there wallet where ever they go, I carry a camera with me where ever I go. " -me
" I can't change the world but at least I can leave a dent in it"
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever. "-Willy Wonka
"Being Vegan isnt about being perfect or pure,it's about reducing suffering."
"There's nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower. What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don't live up until their death. They don't honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers. They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton. They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them. Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can't hear it. Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die." - bukowski
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. "
--Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
"The question is not, can they reason? Nor, can they talk? But can they suffer?"
-Jeremy Bentham
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.
--Benjamin Franklin
As long as there is conscious life on Earth, there will be suffering. The question becomes what to do with the existence each of us is given. We can choose to add our own fury and misery to the rest, or we can set an example by simultaneously working constructively to alleviate suffering while leading joyous, meaningful, fulfilled lives. Being a vegan isn't about deprivation or anger. It's about being fully aware so as to be fully alive.
~Matt Ball, Vegan Outreach
I hate television. I hate it as much as I hate peanuts. But I can't stop eating peanuts.
~~Orson Welles
"Caesar's armies marched on vegetarian foods.”
- Will Durant
"growing up means giving up everything you ever loved." ~Marge Simpson
"The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of 'real food for real people,' you'd better live real close to a real good hospital.”
- Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.
--Carl Buchner
"Happiness is felt by making other people happy."
"I wanna live 'til I die, no more, no less. "
-Eddie Izzard
"Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said, 'I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em!'?”
- Calvin & Hobbes
"If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves and better about the animals, knowing we're not contributing to their pain.”
- Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney
"Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.”
- George Bernard Shaw
"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. And to act so is immoral.”
- Leo Tolstoy
"It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.”
- Harriet Beecher Stowe
“You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics.” Bukowski
