Umberto Eco:
‘I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.’
“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
As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.
~Isaac Bashevis Singer
If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.
-Paul McCartney
