“I'm not a vegetarian, I could eat anything if it's well cooked and tastes good, but preservation of wildlife is nonnegotiable, because it is only by preserving biodiversity, that we ensure a sustainable planet for humanity. It is one thing to consume animals for food, and another to destroy entire ecosystems for profit. There is nothing wrong in development, but development founded on destruction of nature, is the most expensive ticket to human extinction.”
― Kral Fakir: When Calls The Kainat

“Most expensive clothes I own cost 20 dollars, most expensive devices I own cost 200 dollars. Born to a factory worker, I never knew luxury, then I made me a name, but saw the world's condition, I grew an absolute repulsion to lifestyle luxurious.”
