“Being vegan is easy. Are there social pressures that encourage you to continue to eat, wear, and use animal products? Of course there are. But in a patriarchal, racist, homophobic, and ableist society, there are social pressures to participate and engage in sexism, racism, homophobia, and ableism. At some point, you have to decide who you are and what matters morally to you. And once you decide that you regard victimizing vulnerable nonhumans is not morally acceptable, it is easy to go and stay vegan”
― Gary L. Francione

“The fate of animals is of far greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous.”
― Emile Zola

“Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal.”
