Marc Bekoff
“Dominion does not mean domination. We hold dominion over animals only because of our powerful and ubiquitous intellect. Not because we are morally superior. Not because we have a "right" to exploit those who cannot defend themselves. Let us use our brain to move toward compassion and away from cruelty, to feel empathy rather than cold indifference, to feel animals' pain in our hearts.”
Marc Bekoff, Animals Matter: A Biologist Explains Why We Should Treat Animals with Compassion and Respect

Jon Krakauer
“You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.”
Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

Eckhart Tolle
“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose”
Eckhart Tolle

J.K. Rowling
“Books are like mirrors: if a fool looks in, you cannot expect a genius to look out.”
J.K. Rowling

Alan W. Watts
“Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”
