"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival
of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. Our
task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its
beauty."
-Albert Einstein
"Would this habit of eating animals not require that we slaughter animals that we knew as individuals, and in whose eyes we could gaze and see ourselves reflected, only a few hours before our meal?"
"Thou should eat to live; not live to eat."
-Socrates
"The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of
animals as they now look on the murder of men."
-Leonardo Da Vinci
"It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think, therefore,
that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the established
barbarious habit. Every effort should be made to stop the wanton and
cruel slaughter of animals."
-Tesla
A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food;
therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely
for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.
-Tolstoy
I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under
any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to live. I
hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species. To my mind, the life of a
lamb is no less precious than that of a human being. I should be
unwilling to take the life of a lamb for the sake of the human body.
-Mahatma Gandhi
