“The passion for destruction is a creative passion, too!”
― Bakunin

“When it comes to animals, we suffer from moral schizophrenia.”
― Gary L. Francione, Eat Like You Care: An Examination of the Morality of Eating Animals

“If the use of animal food be, in consequence, subversive to the peace of human society, how unwarrantable is the injustice and the barbarity which is exercised toward these miserable victims. They are called into existence by human artifice that they may drag out a short and miserable existence of slavery and disease, that their bodies may be mutilated, their social feelings outraged. It were much better that a sentient being should never have existed, than that it should have existed only to endure unmitigated misery.”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley

“The usual duty of the “intellectual” is to argue for complexity and to insist that phenomena in the world of ideas should not be sloganized or reduced to easily repeated formulae.”
― Christopher Hitchens
