“My life has become about trying to find effective ways to be as responsible with the choices I make - in food, clothing and everything else. I don't want to be responsible for the harm of any creature, person or animal.”
“Free will is "corrupted nature's deformed darling, the Pallas or beloved self-conception of darkened minds"”
“Here's the thing about home: you can create it most anywhere, as long as you gather your people around you.”
