Quotes by Aysha Akhtar (?)

“When we think of the word home, what is conjured is an image of tranquility, of safety and support, something that is less physical in nature and more emotional.”
― Aysha Akhtar, Our Symphony with Animals: On Health, Empathy, and Our Shared Destinies

“We are acknowledging the interconnectedness of our lives with other animals. Their well-being is not separate from ours. On the contrary, we share the same fate.
Moving forward, how we choose to be with animals will depend on how willing we are to be with them. Not as predator and prey, not as master and servant. But as kin, as partners, and as friends, strolling shoulder to shoulder along the dips and rises that stretch before us. We lose nothing when we do so. What we gain is our health, our happiness, our humanity. And friendships that are irreplaceable.”
― Aysha Akhtar, Our Symphony with Animals: On Health, Empathy, and Our Shared Destinies
