Quotes about Animals

    “All other arguments against meat eating, no matter how strong they are are meaningless in relation to the fact that animals have the same life spirit that exists in us. We should feel that by taking an animal life we commit something close to suicide. No other argument against meat eating is necessary for those who have this inner feeling.”

    Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 240)

      “Do not raise your hand against your brother, and do not spill the blood of any living creatures who live on earth, neither human beings nor pets nor wild animals nor birds. In the depth of your soul some divine voice stops you from spilling this blood. There is life in it. You cannot return this life.”

      Alphonse Lamartine,  A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 184)

        “Compassion for animals is so closely connected with kindness that you can truly say that a person cannot be kind if he is cruel to animals. Compassion for animals comes from the same source as compassion toward people.”

        Arthur Schopenhauer, via A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 139)
