If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts. Ellen DeGeneres
Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth. I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. Eugene V. Debs

One friend with whom you have a lot in common is better than three with whom you struggle to find things to talk about. Mindy Kaling
We can think only of creatures, of things He's made. Creatures are all we know, and can be all we know until we know Him. When we think of Him like that, we find we can't believe. He can't be like a creature any more than a carpenter is like a table. Gene Wolfe
A strong, vague persuasion that it was better to go forward than backward, and that I could go forward— that a way, however narrow and difficult, would in time open— predominated over other feelings: its influence hushed them so far, that at last I became sufficiently tranquil to be able to say my prayers and seek my couch. I had just extinguished my candle and lain down, when a deep, low, mighty tone swung through the night. At first I knew it not; but it was uttered twelve times, and at the... Charlotte Bronte
Beware of books. They are more than innocent assemblages of paper and ink and string and glue. If they are any good, they have the spirit of the author within. Authors are rogues and ruffians and easy lays. They are gluttons for sweets and savories. They devour life and always want more. They have sap, spirit, sex. Books are panderers. The Jews are not wrong to worship books. A real book has pheromones and sprouts grass through its cover. Erica Jong
In the discovery of secret things, and in the investigation of hidden causes, stronger reasons are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures and the opinions of philosophical speculators. William Gilbert
Loren Eiseley quote: "When man becomes greater than nature, nature, which gave us..."
When man becomes greater than nature, nature, which gave us birth, will respond. Loren Eiseley
They made for his noise far quicker than he had expected. They were frightfully angry. Quite apart from the stones no spider has ever like being called Attercop, and Tomnoddy of course, is insulting to anybody. J. R. R. Tolkien
Pearl S. Buck quote: "It is better to be first with an ugly woman than the hundreth..."
It is better to be first with an ugly woman than the hundreth with a beauty. Pearl S. Buck
Horace Mann quote: "Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture!..."
Give me a house furnished with books rather than furniture! Both, if you can, but books at any rate! Horace Mann
By God, if women had written stories, As clerks had within here oratories, They would have written of men more wickedness. Than all the mark of Adam may redress. Geoffrey Chaucer
Henry David Thoreau quote: "It is hard to forget that which it is worse than useless to..."
It is hard to forget that which it is worse than useless to remember. Henry David Thoreau
We can no more justify using nonhumans as human resources than we can justify human slavery. Animal use and slavery have at least one important point in common: both institutions treat sentient beings exclusively as resources of others. That cannot be justified with respect to humans; it cannot be justified with respect to nonhumans—however “humanely” we treat them. Gary L. Francione
Some religions draw by force of arms; He would draw by force of love. The attraction would not be His words, but Himself. It was His Person around which His teaching centered; not His teaching around which He would be remembered. 'Greater love than this no man hath' - that was the secret of His magnetism. Fulton J. Sheen
