Catherine Sharp

“In fact, if one person is unkind to an animal it is considered to be cruelty, but where a lot of people are unkind to animals, especially in the name of commerce, the cruelty is condoned and, once large sums of money are at stake, will be defended to the last by otherwise intelligent people.”
― Ruth Harrison, Animal Machines

“The only thing worse than cruelty is delegated cruelty.”
― Matthew Scully, Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy

“There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“There are honest people in the world, but only because the devil considers their asking prices ridiculous.”
― Peter S. Beagle, A Fine and Private Place
