“One farmer says to me, 'You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;' and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race in it's gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood”
― Henry David Thoreau, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers
