Quotes by Henry Stephens Salt (?)

“Here, if nowhere else in the land, the sense of satiety is unknown; and it is to this mental tonic, even more than to the bracing air of the heights, that we owe the unwearied spirit which nerves us to walk more leagues upon the mountains than we could walk miles upon the plain. For in the lowlands we walk with the body only; in the highlands we walk with the mind”
― Henry Stephens Salt, On Cambrian and Cumbrian Hills: Pilgrimages to Snowdon and Scafell

“Religion has never befriended the cause of humaneness. Its monstrous doctrine of eternal punishment and the torture of the damned underlies much of the barbarity with which man has treated man; and the deep division imagined by the Church between the human being, with his immortal soul, and the soulless "beasts", has been responsible for an incalculable sum of cruelty.”

“Bon Vivant: Stop! I will hear no more.

Vegetarian: You will hear no more, but will you eat more? It is on you, not on the brutal drover or the slaughter man, that the responsibility falls. For this 'speedy and painless' way in which animals must be slaughtered that you may live well.”
― Henry Stephens Salt, 'The Logic of Vegetarianism' and other historical works on the theme: Includes: 'Humanitarian Philosophy', 'Vegetable Diet as Sanctioned by Medical Men ', 'A Vindication of Natural Diet'
