"Let nothing come between you and the light."

-- Henry David Thoreau

“The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.”

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
