If we can live and prosper without killing, why would we not do so? I do not see veganism as 'extreme' in any way. I see killing for no reason as extreme in every way.

We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.

I maintain that we ought to abolish the institution and stop causing or facilitating the existence of more 'companion' animals.

Veganism is not a "sacrifice." It is a joy.

Veganism is not a limitation in any way; it's an expansion of your love, your commitment to nonviolence, and your belief in justice for all.

All sentient beings should have at least one right—the right not to be treated as property

You cannot live a nonviolent life as long as you are consuming violence. Please consider going vegan.

If you love animals but think that veganism is extreme, then you are confused about the meaning of love.

Because animals are property, we consider as "humane treatment" that we would regard as torture if it were inflicted on humans.

If you think that being vegan is difficult, imagine how difficult it is for animals that you are not vegan.

Every time you drink a glass of milk or eat a piece of cheese, you harm a mother. Please go vegan.

In general, things either work out or they don’t, and if they don’t, you figure out something else, a plan B. There’s nothing wrong with plan B.

Rest and repose are as much a part of life’s journeys as seeing all we came to see.

There are three signs of old age: loss of memory ... I forget the other two.

There are more things to admire in men than to despise.

If we played like that every week, we wouldn't be so inconsistent.

The more a leader is in the habit of demanding from his men, the surer he will be that his demands will be answered.

Treachery and violence are spears pointed at both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies.

Griddle cakes, pancakes, hot cakes, flapjacks: why are there four names for grilled batter and only one word for love?

I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written.

Anybody who's mad should run for something.
