Wisdom Quote by GaryLFrancione — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Ethical veganism represents a commitment to nonviolence.”

“Veganism is an act of nonviolent defiance. It is our statement that we reject the notion that animals are things and that we regard sentient nonhumans as moral persons with the fundamental moral right not to be treated as the property or resources of humans.”

“Speciesism is morally objectionable because, like racism, sexism, and heterosexism, it links personhood with an irrelevant criterion. Those who reject speciesism are committed to rejecting racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of discrimination as well.”

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

“Any serious social, political, and economic change must include veganism.”

“We should always be clear that animal exploitation is wrong because it involves speciesism. And speciesism is wrong because, like racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, classism, and all other forms of human discrimination, speciesism involves violence inflicted on members of the moral community where that infliction of violence cannot be morally justified. But that means that those of us who oppose speciesism necessarily oppose discrimination against humans. It makes no sense to say that speciesism is wrong because it is like racism (or any other form of discrimination) but that we do not have a position about racism. We do. We should be opposed to it and we should always be clear about that.”

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”

“If that’s the case, I understand why emotions are hard for you. You’ve numbed yourself to make room for the grief you carry.”

“Advice," Doña Vorchenza chuckled. "Advice. The years play a sort of alchemical trick, transmuting one's mutterings to a state of respectability. Give advice at forty and you're a nag. Give it at seventy and you're a sage.”

“May your feet ever walk in the light of two suns... and may the moonshadow never fall on you...”

“I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
