We cannot talk simultaneously about animal rights and the 'humane' slaughter of animals.

We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.

I maintain that we ought to abolish the institution and stop causing or facilitating the existence of more 'companion' animals.

Veganism is not a "sacrifice." It is a joy.

Veganism is not a limitation in any way; it's an expansion of your love, your commitment to nonviolence, and your belief in justice for all.

All sentient beings should have at least one right—the right not to be treated as property

You cannot live a nonviolent life as long as you are consuming violence. Please consider going vegan.

If you love animals but think that veganism is extreme, then you are confused about the meaning of love.

Because animals are property, we consider as "humane treatment" that we would regard as torture if it were inflicted on humans.

Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.

The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters except sitting down every day and trying.

It is impossible to enjoy divine protection without the word of God. You must be a word addict.

You need to get out of the nest if you ever want to fly.

Duty were our games.

You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.

I'll throw a globe at you! You ever been hit by the world?!

I don't say anything and I feel awful. I tell somebody and I feel worse. I'm having trouble finding a middle ground.

Suppose we think while we talk or write--I mean, as we normally do--we shall not in general say that we think quicker than we talk, but the thought seems not to be separate from the expression.

When it's a sharing and improvisational meeting, where you're riffing off other people's ideas, that actually can be productive.
